Raspados are the perfect treat! This Mexican shaved ice is made by blending and crushing ice, then topping it with homemade fruit syrup.

Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

1
Add the water and sugar to a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
2
Add the diced mangoes, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Mash the mangos using a potato masher for a chunky consistency, or puree the mixture using a handheld immersion blender for a smooth consistency.
4
Allow the mixture to reduce, uncovered, over medium-low heat, until it reaches a syrup-like consistency. This should take about 10 minutes.
5
Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool on the counter for 30 minutes before serving.
6
When ready to serve, crush and blend 4 cups of ice cubes in the blender. Transfer the crushed ice to a large bowl and repeat with the remaining ice.
7
To assemble, pack the crushed ice into a cup and pour ¼ cup of the mango syrup on top. Serve immediately.
