Here’s an easy homemade mango ice cream recipe that you can make without an ice cream maker. This recipe uses simple ingredients and doesn’t require much effort.

Ingredients:

• 2 large ripe mangoes (or 2 cups mango puree)
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

• Peel and chop 2 large ripe mangoes; blend into a smooth puree (about 2 cups).
• In a large mixing bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
• Gently fold 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream using a spatula until well combined.
• Add the mango puree to the cream mixture and fold until fully incorporated.
• Optionally, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
• Pour the mango ice cream mixture into a lidded container or a loaf pan.
• Cover with plastic wrap or the container lid and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until solid.
• When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and enjoy.

Tips:

• For a smoother texture, you can strain the mango puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits.
• If you like chunks of mango in your ice cream, reserve some of the chopped mango pieces and fold them into the mixture before freezing.
• This recipe can be customized with add-ins like coconut flakes or a swirl of mango puree for extra flavor and texture.
