Use frozen mango straight from the freezer for the creamiest texture without ice crystals.
Ingredient Swaps
The fruit jam can be swapped for honey or sweetened condensed milk to adjust the sweetness. For a deeper flavour, use very ripe fresh mango, frozen yourself, instead of ready-frozen chunks. A squeeze of lemon can also be added to balance the sweetness.
Common Questions
Why is the mango used frozen?
Freezing gives the ice cream an instantly thick, cold texture without needing a special machine.
How do I get a creamy texture without ice crystals?
Whip the cream well until thick before adding the mango, and blend the mixture until completely smooth.
How long does it need in the freezer?
Usually two to three hours until it firms up and is ready to serve.
Can the jam be left out?
Yes, the jam is only for flavour and sweetness and can be replaced with another sweetener or skipped if the mango is sweet.
How do I store the ice cream?
Keep it in an airtight container in the freezer, and if it sets very hard, leave it out for a few minutes before serving.
