Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 Ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 can (14 ounces / 400 milliliters) Coconut milk (full-fat)
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
Additional Flavors and Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (optional, for a hint of acidity)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for added texture)
Instructions
- Transform ripe mangoes into a silky smooth puree using a blender or food processor, ensuring no chunks remain.
- Whisk together the mango puree, creamy coconut milk, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl, balancing sweetness to personal preference.
- Incorporate a zesty splash of lime juice to elevate the tropical flavor profile and introduce a subtle tangy undertone.
- Fold in delicate shredded coconut, distributing evenly to create delightful textural contrast throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the vibrant mixture into an ice cream maker, churning for 20-25 minutes at medium speed until it develops a luxurious, soft-serve consistency.
- Carefully pour the freshly churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface with a spatula for even freezing.
- Refrigerate for 4-6 hours at 0°F, allowing the dessert to set and develop a rich, creamy texture.
- Remove from freezer 5-7 minutes before serving to allow gentle softening, making scooping effortless.
- Present in chilled bowls or crisp waffle cones, garnishing with extra coconut shavings or vibrant mango slices for an Instagram-worthy tropical dessert.
Notes
- Select ripe, fragrant mangoes for the most intense and sweet flavor profile, ensuring your ice cream bursts with tropical goodness.
- Replace granulated sugar with honey or agave nectar for a more natural sweetness and subtle flavor variation.
- Consider using full-fat coconut milk to achieve a creamier, richer texture that prevents ice crystals from forming during freezing.
- For a dairy-free and vegan version, confirm all ingredients are plant-based and skip any animal-derived additions.
