Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango chunks (fresh or frozen and thawed)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the mango puree: Place the mango chunks in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth, ensuring a creamy base for your ice cream.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mango puree, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, which will give the ice cream its light and airy texture.
- Fold the cream into the mango mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture, taking care not to deflate the air in the cream, ensuring a fluffy and creamy consistency.
- Freeze the mixture: Pour the combined mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and cover it tightly. Freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until fully firm.
- Serve: When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade mango ice cream.
Notes
- For best texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
- You can add mango chunks or swirl in extra mango puree before freezing for added texture and bursts of flavor.
- This recipe requires no ice cream maker, making it perfect for an easy homemade dessert.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk to suit your taste.
