Equipment

  • ice cream maker
  • hand mixer
  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 C fresh mango cut into chunks
  • ¾ C granulated sugar divided
  • 2 C heavy cream
  • 1 C whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Ensure your ice cream maker will be ready to freeze the mixture in about an hour. This usually means the insert should be in the freezer the night before.
  • Peel and cut up the mangos into large chunks. Add to a blender or a Ninja capsule and add ¼ cup of the sugar. Blend until it is a smooth puree.
  • In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat cream, milk, remaining ½ C sugar, & vanilla and beat until combined.  Next, add the pureed mango mixture and beat using the hand mixer until combined and smooth. 
  • Place the bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes so the mango mixture is very cold before it goes into the ice cream insert.
  • Get your ice cream machine ready and slowly pour the chilled mango mixture into the cold insert. Let your ice cream maker do all the work.
  • Run the ice cream maker for about 15 minutes or until it is ready. It should be the consistency of soft-serve ice cream and look similar to the photo above.
  • Scoop out the fresh mango ice cream and place it into a freezer-safe container.  You will need to freeze this for about 3-5 hours.  It will then be ready to serve after it chills for hours.
  • When it reaches the firmness you desire, scoop it into bowls or onto ice cream cones. ENJOY!

Notes

STORING:
Freeze for up to 30 days in an air-tight container. Remove the ice cream about 5 minutes before you want to eat it as homemade ice cream tends to be more solid and dense once frozen all the way through. 
SUBSTITIONS & VARIATIONS:
  • Use thawed frozen mango chunks instead of fresh.
  • DO NOT substitute the cream or whole milk for any other dairy, use only these full-fat ingredients for best taste & texture.
