This recipe of Homemade Mango Ice Cream has been passed on to me by my mother(and I think she learnt it from my grandmother). As kids we would often make a lot of it during the summer holidays which always coincided with the mango season in Goa.

This Homemade Mango Ice Cream is really quite a simple straightforward recipe. And if you happen to own an electric ice-cream maker it sure is a breeze! You’ll have a yummy, creamy, fruity dessert in 30 minutes or less.

Homemade Mango Ice-cream Recipe:

Ingredients:

Pureed pulp of 6 ripe mangoes(preferably the mancurad variety)

200 ml full fat fresh cream

200 ml whole milk(cold)

2 tablespoons of ground sugar(you might want to add more if you like your ice-cream sweeter)

Method: Put all of the above ingredients into the electric ice-cream maker and in half an hour you will get  your ice-cream, all ready to eat. 

Now if you don’t have an electric ice-cream maker then blend together all of the ice-cream ingredients,listed above, by hand or in an electric blender. Pour the contents into a bowl, cover and then place in freezer to to set.

Tip: For creamier ice-cream. After the ice-cream has set(or almost set) take it out of the freezer and whip it till it is light and creamy again. Then keep to reset in freezer. Repeat two or three times. But, as kids, our ice-cream would get over by the first or second round of whipping and setting.

If not using an electric ice-cream maker the ice-cream tends to be a little icy but tastes divine, all the same!
