Hey Lykkers! Get ready to indulge in a tropical treat that’s sure to make your taste buds dance: Mango Ice Cream! If you’re craving something sweet, refreshing, and packed with flavor, mango ice cream is the perfect solution.

Imagine the creamy, luscious texture paired with the sweet, tangy punch of ripe mangoes—it’s like summer in a scoop! Here’s a simple yet irresistible homemade recipe that will have you making batches of mango ice cream all year long.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe mangoes (preferably Alphonso for the best flavor!)

• 1 cup heavy cream (250 gr)

• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (160 gr)

• 1/2 cup full-fat milk (120 gr)

• 1/4 cup sugar (adjust according to your sweetness preference) (50 gr)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mangoes

Start by peeling the mangoes, removing the pit, and cutting them into chunks. For the best flavor, make sure the mangoes are perfectly ripe—they should feel soft and smell sweet! Place the mango chunks into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You should have about 1 to 1.5 cups of mango puree.

2. Whip Up the Creamy Base

In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, full-fat milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk them together until the mixture is well-combined. Then, add in the sugar and vanilla extract, and give it another whisk to dissolve the sugar completely. You’ll notice the mixture becoming smooth and creamy—this is the base for your mango ice cream!

3. Blend Mango and Cream

Now, pour in the mango puree and a pinch of salt into the creamy mixture. Use a spatula or spoon to gently fold everything together until it’s smooth and well-mixed. The mango puree should swirl through the cream, turning the base a beautiful orange-yellow color.

4. Chill and Freeze

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer. You’ll want to let it freeze for about 4-6 hours or until it firms up. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, this no-churn method works perfectly fine! Just make sure to stir the mixture every hour to break up any ice crystals and keep the texture smooth.

5. Serve and Enjoy!

Once your ice cream is fully frozen and scoopable, take it out of the freezer and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly. Then, scoop and serve into bowls or cones! You can garnish it with some fresh mango slices or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.

- Fun Tip: If you want to take your mango ice cream up a notch, try adding chunks of fresh mango or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added texture and flavor!

This homemade mango ice cream is pure bliss—creamy, fruity, and absolutely refreshing. Perfect for hot summer days or whenever you need a tropical escape. Enjoy the perfect scoop, Lykkers!
