Batido de Mango with Cardamom




A "Batido" is a Cuban milkshake made with fruit juice or fruit pulp. I read first about batidos in Joyce Lafray's "Cuba Cochina" (published by William Morrow in 1984).She has a recipe for Mango Shake that I adapted.

For each person use one cup of whole milk, the pulp of one mango, one teaspoon of natural sugar. Combine milk, fruit pulp, and sugar in a food processor and pulse till smooth. Pour into glasses and add 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom to each glass and stir. I think children would love this.
