Ingredients
- 1 cup ripe mango puree 2 medium-sized Alphonso mangoes
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 1 pinch turmeric powder optional
Instructions
Reduce the Mango Puree
- Heat the mango puree in a non-stick skillet over a medium-low flame, stirring constantly until the puree reduces by half. This can take anywhere between 6 and 8 minutes. Switch off and transfer the reduced puree to a bowl and let it cool completely.
Mix the condensed milk
- Add the condensed milk to the mango puree bowl and whisk until combined. You may add a pinch of turmeric or yellow food colour at this stage.
Whip the cream
- Take another larger bowl and whisk the whipping cream to stiff peaks using a handheld electric whisk or stand mixer. Start on low to medium speed and increase to medium to high and whip for at least 3 to 4 minutes or until it can form stiff peaks.
Fold the cream and puree
- Gently fold the mango mixture into the whipped cream until lump-free and with no traces of cream.
Freeze the ice cream
- Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer-friendly container. Place a piece of baking paper or cling wrap touching the surface of the cream, and close the container with a lid or more cling wrap. Freeze for 6 to 8 hours.
Serve the mango ice cream
- Remove the baking paper or cling wrap and let it stand on the counter for a few minutes to soften to a scoopable consistency. Use an ice cream scooper to scoop and serve!
Notes
- Use full-fat everything. Low-fat cream or condensed milk introduces extra water, which is the main cause of icy, grainy ice cream.
- Cool the puree completely. Warm puree will deflate your whipped cream and ruin the texture.
- Best mangoes to use: Alphonso mangoes give the most intense flavour. In a pinch, canned unsweetened mango puree works.
- Prevent freezer burn: Always press cling wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container.
- Storage: Keeps well in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Want mango chunks? Fold in a few small fresh mango pieces just before pouring into the container for texture contrast.
