RUM & RAISIN CHOCOLATE MANGO LASSI

I think Lassis are the best thing to happen to dessert drinks. So easy to make and delicious as well. Lassis come in many different flavors that I would really like to try. Some are sweet, others salty, some include herbs like mint and most have fruit as the main ingredients. Today I give you a twist to the traditional Mango Lassi. A Lassi is basically just a yogurt based mango milkshake or a smoothie is you will. You can even add spices like Cardamon, Nutmeg or even Cinnamon.The fruits can be canned, fresh or frozen, if using frozen then you do not really need to add ice cubes. I wanted to up the flavor of the Mango Lassi by adding my favorite chocolate, Rum&Raisin Dairyland Chocolate! 

INGREDIENTS

2 Mangoes 

500 ml  Plain Yogurt

1/4 Cup Honey

Rum & Raisin Chocolate

Ice cubes (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Slice the Mango into cubes

Prepare the simple chocolate sauce. Add 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder/drinking chocolate and 2 Tablespoons icing sugar, add more if needed to create a thick chocolate sauce. Drizzle the chocolate sauce in the glass and let it run down the glass to create patterns then put in the fridge to chill as you prepare the Lassi

Add the plain yogurt into a blender

Add in the chopped mango

Add 3 or more pieces of the rum & raisin chocolate

Add a handful of ice cubes

The mixture ready to be blended

Pulse the mixture on high a few minutes at a time

Taste the mango Lassi and adjust the sweetness by adding 2 tablespoons of honey

Pulse/blend some more stopping at intervals

You will get a very smooth consistency. You can stop or continue to blend/pulse until your desired consistency

Pour in the prepared glass, garnish with cubed mangoes.

You can chill it again to get a delicious chilled Lassi

Deliciousness in a glass. How smooth and delicious is that rum & raisin chocolate mango Lassi? This Lassi is thick enough to be eaten with a spoon, the topped mangoes add a delicious crunch and freshness
