Mango Ice Cream Recipe 2 Easy Variations

HOMEMADE MANGO ICE CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice the flesh of the mango (see video for how I do it). Puree using a blender, food processor or stick blender then measure out 2 cups of mango puree (about 2 1/4 cups of diced mango).
• Pour puree into a non stick skillet over medium low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 8 - 10 minutes or until it reduces by half. The test is when you can drag a wooden spoon across the skillet and the path remains there for a second (see video). Or measure out the puree to ensure it's reduced to at least 1 cup - less is even better!
• Cool puree.

MANGO ICE CREAM RECIPE (2 EASY VARIATIONS)

Steps:

• Rinse and then wipe dry 3 medium sized alphonso mangoes. Then chop the mangoes.
• Add the chopped mangoes in a blender jar or a bullet mixer.
• Also add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (400 grams).
• Blend until smooth and set aside.
• In another large bowl take the cold or chilled whipping cream.
• With a electric beater begin to whip the cream.
• Make sure that the cream is chilled. In fact you can even keep the bowl in the refrigerator for a few hours.
• Whip till you get stiff peaks on medium-high to high speed. Do not overdo as the cream can curdle.
• Then add the mango+condensed milk mixture. You can even add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract at this step.
• On the lowest speed, using the electric blender, whip and mix gently until everything is combined well and the mixture is even. Do not over do this step of mixing.
• Check for the taste and if you find the ice cream too sweet for your taste-buds, drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons milk. Whip and mix once more.
• Level with a spatula.
• Cover the bowl with a tight lid or seal tightly with aluminium foil or cling wrap.
• Freeze for 6 to 7 hours or overnight.
• For a more softer texture, after the ice cream is half set, you can remove it from the bowl and then whip again.
• Before serving, keep the ice cream bowl at room temperature for some minutes so that it is easy to scoop.
• With an ice cream scoop, remove the ice cream.
• Serve the one bowl 3 ingredient mango ice cream in bowls or cups.
• Rinse, peel and chop the mangoes.
• Blend the mangoes, vanilla extract and sugar to a smooth pulp.
• If you like you can add jaggery or honey in place of sugar.
• In a bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks are formed.
• Add the prepared mango pulp.
• Fold or mix gently. Do not mix heavily or vigorously as this would lead to the mixture falling flat and loosing its volume resulting in a dense ice cream.
• Check the sweetness and add more sugar if needed.
• Pour the ice cream mixture in a freezer proof container or box. Make the top layer smooth and even with a spatula. Cover the container tightly with a lid.
• Keep the ice cream container in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours or until it is half-set or half-frozen.
• When the ice cream is half frozen remove from the freezer. Transfer the ice cream from the container to a blender jar or in a bowl.
• Whip again for two to three minutes on medium speed.
• Pour the ice cream contents again in the container with lid. Freeze for 7 to 8 hours or overnight until set.
• Remove the frozen mango ice cream. Wait for 5 to 6 minutes so that it easier to scoop through the ice cream. Scoop and serve.
• Plain and simple: You can enjoy both the mango ice creams as it is without any additional toppings.
• Sweet syrupy toppings: Add toppings of honey, maple syrup, chocolate sauce or caramel sauce.
• Nuts and berries: To add some crunch or chewiness, add chopped nuts, tutti frutti, candied fruits or dried berries. To bring in some freshness, garnish with a few mint leaves.
• Seasonal fruits: Fresh fruit garnishes like cherries, strawberries, blueberries add in lovely colors and enhances the taste as well. A topping of mango cubes also tastes great.
• Chocolate: Enjoy the ice cream with toppings of chocolate shavings, chocolate syrup or chocolate sauce.
• Make desserts: You can make desserts like trifle, falooda or floats. Chilled custard or a vegetarian jelly are good pairings. Similar to vanilla ice cream, mango ice cream also pairs nicely with a brownie or molten cake.
• Place leftover ice cream in a covered box or container and keep it frozen in your freezer. You could also make ahead and freeze for about two months.
