A super easy Mango Syrup Recipe made with just 4 ingredients in a few minutes! It will definitely give a tropical vibe to your overnight oats, pancakes, drinks or desserts.
Mango Syrup
I promise you, this simple syrup with mango flavour recipe is better than the store-bought, which is filled with too much sugar and far too little flavour!
Since I made this syrup, I have noticed myself reaching for this sweet, fruity treat to drizzle over pancakes, ice cream, and other desserts and even in my smoothies and milkshakes.
Take my word for it, you’re not just going to love it, you’re going to be making a second batch when you’re out.
All you need to do is get your hands on some mango, and the other ingredients for this syrup are probably already there in your kitchen.
Ingredients
Complete information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.
- Mango: I use fresh mango, preferably some juice mango like Alphonso’s, but practically any mango will work.
- Granulated sugar: To sweeten the syrup. You can replace it with brown sugar if you like.
- Water: Whatever you drink.
- Vanilla extract: To add flavor.
How To Peel And Cut The Mango?
Before getting into the recipe for the syrup, you’ll need to peel and chop the mangoes. You can peel them as if you were peeling other fruits; however, that can be a messy process. So here is a way you can do it:
Hold your Mango Vertically and cut one slit where the stem would’ve been, and then another slit in the opposite direction. This should look like an ‘X’ or a ‘+’ sign.
Now you can grab the peels from the slits you had just cut and pull them down. You might want to place a bowl underneath the mango to collect any dripping juices.
Mango is a stone fruit. So, now you’ll have to cut around all the mango from around the stone. Chop it all up into smaller sizes and you’re good to go.
How to Make Mango Syrup?
One: Once the mangoes are peeled and chopped, you can place them in a small saucepan.
Two: Along with the chopped mangoes, water, and sugar and bring it to a boil. Once you see the mixture boiling, you can reduce the heat to a low.
Three: Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes or until the mangoes are softened and begin to dissolve into the rest of the ingredients.
Four: Next, transfer the mixture into a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and press the mango pieces into the strainer to extract the syrup.
Tip: Mango is a very fibrous fruit, so you might need to strain it twice to get a smooth consistency of the syrup.
Five: Now take this syrup that you had just extracted it pour it back into the pot. Heat this pot for another 3-5 minutes until the syrup has slightly reduced or thickened.
Six: Add a few drops of your vanilla extract and turn off the heat. Let the syrup sit for a while until it is cool.
Seven: Finally, pour it into a glass bottle from which you can drizzle the syrup on top of your favourite desserts with ease. Store in the refrigerator, and that’s it! Your tropical treat is ready.
Expert Tips!
- Make sure the syrup has cooled entirely before pouring it into a bottle/jar for storage.
- It’s a good idea to label the bottle/jar you pour this syrup into with the date. That way, you know how long it’s been made for, and can utilize it in your desserts before it goes bad.
- If you choose to use frozen mangoes, then make sure that you leave them out to thaw so that they are easily dissolved once in the pot.
- I recommend using a funnel while pouring the syrup from the pot to avoid creating a mess.
How To Use Homemade Mango Syrup
There’s only one quick, easy way to make this delicious syrup, and there are a dozen ways to use it. I like to drizzle it on ice cream, crepes, and pancakes. I also love to use it in my smoothie.
How To Store It
This homemade syrup with mango flavor should be kept in a jar or bottle that is closed tightly. That too, is in the fridge; it will last a whole month.
If you’d like to freeze this syrup, I prefer you do so in an ice cube tray as compared to a jar. The syrup will freeze solid and I recommend you keep it in the freezer for no more than 3 months.
