Ingredients
  

For the Ice Cream Base
  • 2 pieces ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted Look for mangoes that are slightly soft for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Opt for a good-quality cream for ultra-rich texture.
  • 1 cup coconut milk or whole milk Coconut milk adds a tropical hint; use whole milk if preferred.
  • 3/4 cup sugar Adjust sweetness based on mangoes.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For added flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt To balance sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a high-speed blender, combine mangoes, heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more sugar if desired.
  4. Pour the mango mixture into a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  5. Place the bowl in the freezer for about 2-3 hours to start firming up, achieving a soft-serve consistency.
  6. Every 30 minutes for the next 2-3 hours, stir the mixture to break up forming ice crystals.
  7. Once the desired consistency is reached, let it freeze fully for about 4-5 hours before serving.
  8. Scoop and enjoy your homemade Easy Mango Ice Cream!

Notes

If ice crystals form, stir more frequently to help achieve a smoother consistency. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
