RETURN TO RECIPES
SERVES Makes about 1 quart
Homemade ice cream is simply the best—no preservatives and just a few, quality ingredients! Made fresh, your own ice cream is just that, fresh and delicious! This easy mango and coconut ice cream is smooth, creamy, and bursting with tropical flavors—perfect for a sweet, refreshing treat this summer!
- Place the coconut cream and frozen mango, in a high speed blender. Add the sugar, lime juice, and vanilla extract to the blender, and blend until combined and smooth.
- Use the blender tamper to move the mango chunks around for easier and complete blending.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed. Add a bit more sugar if the mangos are not very sweet. The mixture should be slightly sweeter than desired since freezing will mute the sweetness.
- Once the mixture is well blended, you may enjoy it as a “soft serve” texture right away.
- Or, freeze to set into a scoopable treat. Transfer the ice cream into a lidded, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving. Enjoy the rich, refreshing, tropical flavors of mango and coconut!
