Why you will love this recipe

This mango ice cream is super quick to make and doesn't need an ice cream maker. You'll love that's it's not too sweet and has an incredible mango flavor!

The secret of this mango ice cream is frozen mango. Using a high speed blender or food processor mean you can create a creamy ice cream in minutes. Also, frozen mango means this delicious dessert can be made year round without an ice cream maker.

Frozen mango chunks are available at most supermarkets. However, if you can get your hands on some fresh, ripe mangoes in summer, buy extra to freeze for later. Fresh mangoes are usually sweeter. Keep frozen mango chunks in your freezer for an instant dessert.

We love this refreshing, summer ice cream just as much as Italian Panna Cotta. And if you are looking for more fruity, summer refreshers you can't go past this fragrant Strawberry Coulis or Blueberry Compote to brighten your day!

Ingredient Notes

Only 5 ingredients are required for this easy mango ice cream.

• frozen mango chunks - store bought or freeze chunks of ripe mango in advance
• sugar - not too much because the mango is quite sweet
• honey - along with the sugar helps prevent ice crystals forming
• lime juice - perfect with mango
• cream - use heavy cream with no less than 35% milk fat

Instructions

Chill cream very well. Place processor/blender bowls in the freezer until very cold. If serving immediately have serving bowls in the freezer. If freezing ice cream for later, pre chill a loaf pan.

1. Process or blend frozen mango until in crumbly fine pieces.
2. Add sugar, honey and lime juice and process until combined.
3. Add the cream. Process only for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until creamy and well combined.
4. Process only for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until creamy and well combined.

Serve immediately in cold bowls or freeze in a pre chilled loaf pan for 2-3 hours for a more scoop-able consistency.

Tips for success and FAQs

This is a very easy recipe but there are a few important points to remember.

• Mango chunks must be frozen
• Have cream well chilled.
• Whenever you make ice cream or frozen desserts freeze the bowls, utensils and particularly the pan you will be freezing your ice cream in. This tip really helps to keep the ice crystals to a minimum.
• If you prefer a firmer consistency pop it into the freezer and allow about 2 hours for a scoop-able ice cream.
• If it has been in the freezer for more than a day be sure to take it out a few minutes to soften before serving.

Serving suggestions

I served the ice cream in my homemade crunchy krumkake cones but in keeping with "easy", a store bought waffle cone does the trick.

I can think of no better way to end a meal like pasta with garlic butter sauce than with a cool refreshing mango ice cream!
