Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
Sweeteners:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) condensed milk (or sweetened alternative)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) lemon juice
Instructions
- Transform ripe, juicy mangoes into a silky-smooth puree using a blender, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Enhance the mango puree with a splash of zesty lemon juice, stirring to create a balanced, bright flavor profile.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it develops soft, billowy peaks that hold their shape.
- Incorporate condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream, gently folding to maintain the airy texture.
- Delicately integrate the mango puree into the cream mixture, creating a marbled, golden-hued base with gentle folding motions.
- Transfer the luscious mixture into a freezer-safe container, carefully smoothing the surface for an even freeze.
- Place in the freezer for 4-6 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing the ice cream to set into a creamy, scoopable consistency.
- Serve the mango ice cream in chilled bowls, garnishing with fresh mango chunks or a mint leaf for an extra touch of tropical elegance.
Notes
- Adjust mango ripeness for intensified sweetness, selecting fully ripe, fragrant fruits with deep orange color and soft texture.
- Chill equipment like blender, bowl, and whisk beforehand to maintain cream’s whipping consistency and prevent melting.
- Try alternative milk options like coconut condensed milk for dairy-free versions or swap mangoes with other seasonal fruits like peaches or strawberries.
- Use fine mesh strainer to remove mango fibers for ultra-smooth texture, ensuring silky and refined ice cream experience.
