👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Mango Pulp: Peel and chop ripe mangoes. Blend them in a mixer until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve to remove any fibers. You should have about 2 cups of mango pulp. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, cardamom powder, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Make the Thick Mixture: In a bowl, combine heavy cream or condensed milk with 1/2 cup mango pulp. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and cardamom powder. Whip until thick and creamy. Fold in chopped dry fruits and soaked basil seeds.
- Prepare Falooda: If using falooda, cook according to package instructions. Drain and cool. This adds a unique texture to the mastani.
- Assemble the Mastani: In a tall glass, pour 2-3 tablespoons of the thick mango-cream mixture at the bottom. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Pour 1/4 cup mango pulp over the ice cream. Add another layer of the thick mixture. Top with another scoop of ice cream.
- Layer Toppings: Sprinkle falooda, chopped dry fruits, and basil seeds on top. Drizzle with rose syrup and condensed milk. Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish: Garnish with a cherry, a few strands of saffron, or additional dry fruits. Insert a spoon and a straw.
- Serve Immediately: Serve immediately while the ice cream is still cold and the mixture is thick and creamy.

Getting a Thick, Spoonable Mastani
Use fully ripe mangoes, chilled milk, and firm ice cream. Blend only the shake base, then add ice cream, fruit, and nuts as toppings so the drink keeps its contrasting textures. Reduce the milk rather than adding extra ice when a thicker result is desired.
