Jump to Recipe

If you’re anything like me, the thought of making homemade ice cream can seem a bit daunting. But folks, this Mango Ice Cream Recipe is a total game-changer.

You can easily whip up this deliciously creamy ice cream and guess what no churning is required. That means no ice cream maker taking up extra space in your kitchen. And it is better than store-bought since you know exactly what goes into your frozen treat.

Ok so I have a confession to make I love no churn but I have indeed added a Ninja creami ice cream maker to my collection. We are an ice cream family so it made sense for us. If you have also found extra pantry space then you need these Ninja Creami recipes.

Why Make This Recipe

• It’s so easy to make – no churning or ice cream machine required!
• Flavorful – Bursting with delicious tropical fruit flavor.
• Refreshing – It’s a refreshing treat for afternoons by the pool, scooping up at backyard barbecues and parties, or whenever you want to kick back and cool off.
• A family favorite treat – Nothing says summer like homemade ice cream. Am I right?

Ingredients Notes

With just 3 ingredients here are a few tips to use to make this recipe go smoother.

• Mango – It’s best to use the mango varieties with the sweetest, most intense flavor and color such as Honey Gold, Kensington Pride, Alphonso, and Pearl.
• Heavy whipping cream – It adds all the creaminess and then some more.
• Condensed milk – even more creaminess. The combination of aerated whipped and condensed milk is what makes this no churn ice cream creamy and helps it avoid the icicles.

Bintu’s Tips For Success

So, I love sharing all my tips, here’s a few things I have learned.

• Let the ice cream soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
• You can use defrosted frozen mango instead of fresh, but the ice cream will not be as flavorful.
• You can use canned sweet pureed mango instead. Just keep an eye on the water content. You may need to reduce it on the stovetop and cool it down before using it.
• You can add a drop or two of yellow food coloring for a brighter color.
• To prevent any ice crystals from forming use thick mango puree and also remove the ice cream from the freezer a couple of times and mix with a fork until smooth then refreeze.
• Don’t leave this out, serve it and then place it back in the freezer.

Variations

This recipe is easily adaptable. You can change it up a little or a lot to suit your mood and taste. Here are a few things we like to do:

• Add extra flavoring by adding in rum extract, maple syrup, citrus zest, or ginger or coconut extract.
• Stir in some mix-ins like diced nuts, coconut flakes, raisins, or chocolate chips.
• Change the fruit to papaya, guava, pineapple, or peach. Just remember that the puree needs to be really thick to work.

Prep and Storage

If you have anything to store after making this on a hot Summers day I will be surprised. But here are the important bits if you do.

• Prep Ahead – Since this ice cream needs at least 8 hours in the freezer to fully set up, it’s a perfect make-ahead dessert.
• Storage – Store in an airtight freezer-safe container and keep frozen for up to 3 months.

Tools Needed

• A sharp knife.
• A simple cutting board.
• A stand mixer.
• Or a hand held mixer.
• Handy mixing bowls.
• Measuring cups or measuring spoons.
