Mango makes one of the easiest and most fragrant no-churn ice creams, because ripe mango puree is already smooth, sweet and thick. Folded into whipped cream with sweetened condensed milk, it freezes into a soft, golden scoop with no ice cream maker. A squeeze of lime keeps the sweetness in check and brightens the fruit. Use very ripe, fragrant mangoes, or thawed frozen mango chunks when fresh ones are out of season.
Instructions
- Puree the mango with the lime juice in a blender until completely smooth. For an extra-smooth ice cream, press the puree through a sieve.
- Stir the condensed milk and salt into the puree.
- Whip the cold cream until it holds stiff peaks.
- Fold one-third of the cream into the mango mixture to loosen it, then gently fold in the rest until no streaks remain.
- Pour into a 1.5 liter (6-cup) freezer-safe container, press cling film onto the surface and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Let the ice cream stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping.
Tips
- If your mangoes are fibrous, sieve the puree. If you use canned sweetened mango pulp instead of fresh fruit, reduce the condensed milk to 300 g.
- Fold, do not stir, when combining the mango with the cream. Stirring knocks out the air and gives a denser, icier result.
