How to Make Mango Ice Cream

Step 1: Blend It Up

Toss the frozen mango, cream, and sweetener into a blender. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Pro tip: If your blender struggles, let the mango sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly.

Step 2: Taste & Adjust

Give it a quick taste—need more sweetness? Add a bit more honey. Want it tangier? A squeeze of lime juice works wonders!

Step 3: Freeze (Or Eat Right Away!)

For firmer ice cream, transfer to a container and freeze for 2-3 hours. But let’s be real—you can totally eat it straight from the blender as a soft-serve treat!

Pro Tips for the Best Mango Ice Cream

✔ Use ripe mangoes—they’re naturally sweeter and more flavorful.
✔ Freeze your bowl before serving for extra creaminess.
✔ Add mix-ins like chopped nuts or coconut flakes for texture.

FAQs

Can I use fresh mango?
Yes! Just freeze the chunks for at least 4 hours first.

How long does it last?
Up to 2 weeks in the freezer—though it’s so good, it’ll disappear faster!

Why is my ice cream icy?
You might have over-blended or didn’t use enough fat (hello, heavy cream!).
