Homemade Mango Ice Cream Recipe Tips

• Let the ice cream soften at room temperature so it becomes scoopable before serving.
• It’s possible to use defrosted frozen mango instead of fresh, but the ice cream will not be as flavorful.
• You can start with canned sweet pureed mango instead of fresh. Just keep an eye on on the water content.
• For a more vibrant colour you can add in a drop or two of yellow food colouring.

Prep Ahead and Storage

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.

FAQs

Recipe 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 suggestions to try:

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

What Mango Is Best To Use?

It is best to use the mango varieties with the sweetest, most intense flavor and color such as Honey Gold, Kensington Pride, Alphonso and Pearl.

How To Prevent Crystals Forming?

To prevent ice crystals in the ice cream, make sure you use really thick mango puree (esp important if you start with canned mango puree). If using canned puree, you may need to reduce it on the stove top and cool it down before using.

Also to prevent any ice crystals forming, remove ice cream from freezer a couple of times and mix with a fork until smooth then refreeze.
