About this recipe
This vegan mango ice cream is prepared without an ice cream maker using an easy no-churn method. It’s so smooth and silky that you won’t believe it was made without any eggs or dairy. I agree to be sent email.
My kids and I enjoyed this to the last scoop and last melting drop. What I loved about it is that I did not need lots of sugar in the process, unlike the store-bought equivalents that come loaded with processed sugar in every serving.
With this new recipe, you get the best of both worlds…exceptional, natural taste that is not too expensive.
As the temperatures are starting to creep into the 90F, it is a great time to find sweet, ripe, and juicy mangoes at the local produce.
When mangoes are as sweet as they are at the peak of summer, you don’t need as much added sugar in your ice cream. Based on the reviews and feedback I got for Vegan Mango Lassi, mango turmeric cheesecake, Rice pudding with mango, and Mango Rasayana recipe, I can tell that you have a penchant for mangoes too! I hope you will try this today…
A combination of Mango and coconut milk is something I have not tried before, but the flavors seem to complement very well. You can opt to try this recipe without the coconut milk too if you are not a big fan of coconut milk.
The coconut milk or cream does all the work behind the screen with its creaminess as well as a nutty flavor.
As with most of my recipes, the list of ingredients is small enough that you can try it right away. The procedure is super easy and you do not have to use an Ice Cream maker if you do not have one 😉
Ingredients note
Mango: Use fresh and ripe mangoes as much as possible. Frozen varieties would also work but they also tend to be sour. Look for mangoes that give in a little when you press on them gently.Coconut milk: I used organic coconut milk. Be sure to refrigerate the coconut milk before using it in the mango ice cream recipe. Refrigeration helps in getting just the cream from coconut milk. You can discard the water after you take the cream off, or save it for a smoothie recipe.Sweetener: Powdered sugar or maple syrup work the best. Be sure to check the sweetness of the mangoes and adjust the sweetener accordingly.
No churn ice cream method
With minimal ingredients, here’s how you can make your own mango Ice cream without an ice cream machine.
How to serve Ice cream
Blend the mango ice cream chunks in a food processor or a high-power blender. and start processing them. You will notice that the crumbs stick together and magically turn into a softer mango ice cream. Just scoop the ice cream and serve!
