A creamy Cuban milkshake made with mamey sapote, a tropical fruit with sweet potato-like flavor, beloved in Miami and Havana alike.

Peel the mamey sapote and remove the large seed.
Cut the salmon-colored flesh into chunks.
Add milk, mamey, ice cream, sugar, and vanilla to the blender.
Squeeze in lime juice for brightness.
Blend on high for 60 seconds until thick and frothy.
Serve immediately in a tall glass, this is a ventanita staple in Little Havana.
