Imagine the sweet flavor of ripe mangoes blended into a creamy, dreamy scoop of ice cream – mango ice cream is a refreshing summer treat.
The first time I remember seeing a mango was when my older sister shared one with me as a teenager. Here was this giant fruit with a soft green and yellow leathery skin. She peeled the outer layer back and sliced off a wedge.
It was incredible. She has always had a knack for picking them when they are perfectly ripe. Juicy and sweet, with tender yellow flesh that was tinged slightly orange.
Mango Ice Cream
You can use fresh mango or frozen to make this ice cream. While fresh mangoes aren’t difficult to use, they aren’t always ripe in the store when I need them. So, frozen mango chunks can be a great option to keep on hand.
I use frozen mango in smoothies and I also toss it into my breakfast bowls. I’ve used canned mangoes to make pineapple mango ice cream, so I imagine that is an option for this ice cream as well – though I haven’t tested canned mango in this exact recipe.
