Ingredients

  • 450 g mango pulp
  • 250 ml cream animal-based heavy cream is recommended
  • 20 g condensed milk adjust to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Mango:

  • Wash the mangoes and slice them into two halves along the pit. Score the flesh into a grid pattern and flip the skin inside out. Scoop out the mango chunks and cut them into small pieces. Blend some of the mango chunks into a smooth puree and set the remaining chunks aside for later.

Reduce the Mango Puree:

  • Pour the mango puree into a small saucepan. Heat it over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Continue stirring until the puree thickens and reduces by about one-third, which takes approximately 5-10 minutes. Transfer it to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature.

Whip the Cream and Condensed Milk:

  • Combine 250ml cream and 20g condensed milk in a mixing bowl. Using a hand or stand mixer, start on low speed to fluff the cream, then increase to medium speed. Whip until soft peaks form and the cream holds its shape.

Combine Ingredients:

  • Once the mango puree has cooled, gently fold the cooled mango puree into the whipped cream. Add the reserved mango chunks and mix until evenly combined.

Freeze the Ice Cream:

  • Transfer the mixture to a container. Smooth the surface with a spatula, cover it with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is fully set.

Serving Tips:

  • If the ice cream is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
