Description
Indulge in the tropical sweetness of homemade mango ice cream! This no-churn recipe is incredibly easy to make, requiring only three main ingredients and no special ice cream maker. Perfect for a refreshing summer treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, cold
- 1 1/2 cups ripe mango puree (about 2 large mangoes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Mango Puree: Peel and chop the ripe mangoes. Blend them in a food processor or blender until completely smooth. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the resulting puree.
- Whip the Cream: In a large, chilled bowl, use an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer with a whisk attachment) to beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
- Combine Base: In a separate bowl, gently whisk together the cold sweetened condensed milk, mango puree, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold Together: Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the mango/condensed milk mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the air from the whipped cream.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a loaf pan (about 9×5 inches) or a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals.
- Chill: Freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
- Serve: Let the ice cream sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use very ripe Ataulfo (honey) or Alphonso mangoes.
- If you prefer a richer color, add a tiny drop of yellow food coloring, though ripe mangoes usually provide a brilliant hue.
- To make this vegan, substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and use a vegan condensed milk alternative.
