How to Make Chamango

  1. Dice 1 cup ripe mango. Set aside ½ cup of the diced mango.
  2. Place the remaining ½ cup of diced mango in a blender with 1 cup of ice and 1 tablespoon of sugar (or to taste, if your mango is not very sweet).
  3. Blend until smooth but still icy. Do not over-blend, as this may melt the ice.
  4. In a tall glass, layer the bottom with ¼ cup of the reserved diced mango.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of chamoy (or raspberry coulis) to create a distinct red layer.
  6. Pour in ⅓ cup of the blended mango ice, filling the glass about halfway.
  7. Add another layer of ¼ cup diced mango.
  8. Add another 2 tablespoons of chamoy (or raspberry coulis).
  9. Top with another ⅓ cup of the blended mango ice, almost to the top of the glass.
  10. Add a final 1 tablespoon of chamoy (or raspberry coulis).
  11. Add the remaining ¼ cup diced mango and sprinkle generously with ¼ cup of chopped tamarind candy.
  12. Serve immediately with a large straw and a spoon. Enjoy!
