Description
This propitious mango ice cream recipe features a creamy mango center inside a glossy yellow shell that looks just like the real fruit. No churn required, and customizable with or without the candy coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mango puree
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (8 ounces)
- ½ can sweetened condensed milk (7 ounces)
- 1 cup yellow chocolate candy melts (optional)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional; helps thin the chocolate coating)
Instructions
- Peel and pit ripe mangoes, then blend until smooth to make 1 cup of puree.
- Use a hand mixer to beat the heavy cream in a large bowl until firm peaks hold their shape.
- Add sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream and mix on low speed until fully combined.
- Add mango puree and blend on low until smooth and evenly colored.
- Pour the mixture into mango-shaped silicone molds or a freezer-safe container.
- If you’re using molds, place a popsicle stick in each one and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, or until completely firm.
- Melt yellow chocolate melts with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between rounds.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove one frozen bar at a time and dip into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place dipped bars on the baking sheet and freeze again briefly to set the shell.
- Optionally brush the top and bottom with strawberry powder or food coloring for realism.
- Store in a freezer-safe container with parchment layers to avoid sticking.
Notes
- Use sweet, non-fibrous mangoes like Ataulfo or Alphonso for best texture.
- To make it vegan, swap dairy for coconut cream and plant-based condensed milk.
- Work quickly during coating to prevent melting.
- No silicone mold? Use a loaf pan and slice before coating.
