Instructions

1

Prepare the mango

Peel and chop the mangoes into small chunks. Measure 2 cups and set aside.

Pro tip: Use very ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness.

2

Blend the mango

In a blender, puree the mango chunks until smooth. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of mango puree.

Pro tip: A food processor can also be used.

3

Combine with condensed milk

In a large bowl, mix the mango puree with the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

4

Whip the cream

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

Pro tip: Chilling the bowl helps the cream whip faster.

5

Fold the mixtures together

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture until no streaks remain.

Pro tip: Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

6

Freeze the ice cream

Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container, smooth the top, and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Pro tip: For a softer texture, stir the ice cream halfway through freezing.
