Beat the Heat: Easy Homemade Mango Ice Cream Recipe

Nothing screams summer like mangoes. The king of fruits is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile in desserts. And what better way to enjoy mangoes than in a creamy, chilled scoop of homemade mango ice cream? This recipe is simple, eggless, and doesn’t require an ice cream maker. Perfect for kids and adults alike, this treat is the ultimate answer to those summer cravings.

Ingredients You’ll Need:
●    2 large ripe mangoes (Alphonso preferred for flavor and color)

●    1 cup condensed milk

●    2 cups heavy cream (or fresh cream if unavailable)

●    1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional)

●    A pinch of salt

●    Chopped mango pieces or nuts (optional for garnish)


Step-by-Step Method:
1. Prepare the Mango Pulp
 Wash, peel, and dice the mangoes.
 Blend the mango pieces in a mixer to form a smooth pulp (you should get around 1.5 cups).
 If your mangoes are fibrous, strain the pulp for a smoother texture.
2. Whip the Cream
 In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream using an electric beater or hand whisk until soft peaks form.
 Ensure the cream is chilled before whipping for best results.
3. Mix the Base
 Gently fold in the condensed milk and mango pulp into the whipped cream.
 Add the vanilla essence and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
 Mix well without overbeating to maintain a light and airy texture.
4. Freeze the Mixture
 Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container with a lid.
 Cover the surface with cling film (touching the top of the mixture) to prevent ice crystals from forming.
 Seal the container and freeze for 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
5. Serve and Garnish
 Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
 Garnish with chopped mangoes or crushed nuts for added texture and flavor.

Tips for Creamy Perfection:
●    Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Alphonso or Kesar for the best flavor and vibrant color.

●    Adjust the quantity of condensed milk based on the natural sweetness of the mangoes.

●    For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and use a plant-based condensed milk alternative.
