🥭 Ingredients
Only a handful of simple ingredients are needed to make this delicious mango ice cream. You can easily find everything you need at your local grocery store.
- Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. Whip the cream by itself to get it to double in volume and form soft peaks before adding anything else.
- Fresh mangoes. Choose fresh, ripe mangoes for this ice cream. Unripe mangoes will give the ice cream a sour taste.
- Vanilla extract adds a lovely hint of vanilla flavor.
- Sweetened condensed milk has the water content evaporated out so fewer ice crystals form. It also acts as a sweetener. The thick syrup also softens the ice cream and makes it easier to scoop. You can use regular, low-fat, or fat-free sweetened condensed milk.
- Lemon juice adds a touch of tartness and prevents the ice cream from being too sweet.

🍦 How to make mango ice cream
The first step is to make mango puree. Using a food processor or blender, blend chopped mangoes with lemon juice until smooth. Scrape the sides of the food processor periodically. You will end up with fresh mango puree. Set aside.
Next, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer at high speed in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
Next, add the can of sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Blend at medium speed until stiff peaks form and you have a creamy texture.
Add the mango mixture to the whipped ice cream batter, and mix with an electric beater until the fruit puree is well combined.
Pour the ice cream mixture from the large mixing bowl into a bread loaf tin or freezer-safe container. Smooth out the ice cream with a wooden spoon.
Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
Enjoy!
Hint: When you're ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
🍨 How to serve no-churn mango ice cream

🥭 Substitutions
- Mangoes: If you can't find fresh mangoes, you can substitute frozen mangoes or mango puree. For the best flavor, use ripe mangoes that are quite soft to the touch. Be sure to use unsweetened mango puree or the ice cream will be too sweet. If using frozen mangos, defrost them fully first. Squeeze out as much water as you can from the mango chunks before blending as any water left will turn into ice crystals which will form throughout the ice cream.
- Lemon juice: You can also use lime juice to balance out the sweetness of the mangoes.
- Heavy cream: You can also use full-fat coconut cream.
