This creamy mango ice cream is made with ripe mango puree, rich cream, and a hint of lemon for brightness. Smooth, vibrant, and refreshing, it is the perfect homemade treat for warm weather.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh mango puree (from about 3–4 ripe mangoes)

1 cup heavy cream, cold

1 cup whole milk

3/4 cup granulated sugar, adjust to taste

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel the mangoes, remove the flesh from the pit, and blend until completely smooth. Measure exactly 2 cups of puree and strain through a fine mesh sieve if needed for extra smoothness.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mango puree and sugar until the sugar fully dissolves.
  3. Add the cold heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2–3 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
  5. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  6. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and press parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.

Notes

Use Ataulfo or Alphonso mangoes for a sweeter, less fibrous puree.

For a lighter version, replace part of the heavy cream with additional whole milk.

Fold in small mango cubes during the last few minutes of churning for added texture.

Add a pinch of cardamom for a subtle warm spice variation.

To make without an ice cream maker, freeze in a shallow container and stir every 30–45 minutes for 3–4 hours.

Store in an airtight container with parchment pressed on the surface for up to 2 weeks.

Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping if too firm.

Substitute full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
