Mango Freeze

Ingredients
1 large ripe mango
1 1/2 cups ice cubes
3/4 cup mango nectar or peach nectar
3 scoops softened vanilla ice cream
1 tbsp honey


Directions
1. Peel the mango and cut away as much meat from the large hard pit as possible. Place the mango pieces into a blender with the remaining ingredients. Blend until the mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds. If necessary, pulse the blender on and off and add additional nectar 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture blends easily. Makes two 12-ounce drinks.
2. Variation Mango Apricot Freeze: Substitute apricot nectar for mango nectar.
3. Variation Mango Passion Fruit Freeze: Substitute ¼ cup passion fruit concentrate and ½ cup orange juice for mango nectar.
4. Variation Mango Peach Cocktail: Substitute peach sorbet for ice cream. Substitute ¼ cup gold or spiced rum, 1/3 cup peach schnapps, and 2 tablespoons bottled sweetened lime juice for mango nectar.
5. Variation Mango Peach Freeze: Substitute peach ice cream for vanilla ice cream. Use grenadine instead of honey.
