All the official taste testers of Precious Kitchen (my kids and husband) approve of this homemade Mango Ice Cream. It is to die for!

I am dreaming of this homemade ice cream as we speak! The taste is unforgettable! This is ice cream like no other. It is mango-y, so smooth and creamy. The perfect way to beat the summer heat during summer break or when you’re just craving the flavor of mango.

Mango lovers are welcome here! I’m someone who adores mango. I incorporate fresh mango chunks into breakfast recipes, thai recipes like curry, or even pureed mango smoothies. If you love mangoes too, you can check out this Mango Cream or Mango Upside Down Cake. I also have healthy recipes with mango, like my Mango Avocado Salsa or Mango Shrimp Salad.

Mango Ice Cream With No Ice Cream Machine

This easy recipe is made with simple ingredients. No egg yolks, cuisinart ice cream maker, or sauce pan involved! Yet it is such a creamy ice cream. The reason for this is because the milk mixture is comprised of heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk.

Not only that, but the creamy texture is because you actually whip the fresh cream until fluffy. So, this homemade mango ice cream recipe is not quite the same as regular ice cream. You know, churned ice cream that you need a machine for!

This is the best mango ice cream recipe because it uses fresh ripe mangoes! The mango flesh provides a lovely flavor and creates luscious silky mango ice cream.

The best part? This is a 5 ingredient mango ice cream that only takes 10 minutes of prep time. So, if you need an easy ice cream recipe for a hot summer day or an upcoming party, you can prep this no churn mango ice cream recipe the day beforehand and have it ready to go.

Mango Ice Cream Ingredients

This easy homemade ice cream recipe has simple ingredients. Here are some notes about them:

1. Ripe, Fresh mangoes. Use ripe mangoes with less fiber so the mango ice cream is nice and smooth. Overripe mangoes will work, too, as they will yield an intense mango flavor. Alphonso mangoes are a good choice.

2. Heavy cream. This is the base for this easy mango ice cream. The heavy cream when beaten traps in air and yields a light ice cream mixture.

3. Sweetened condensed milk. For sweetness and creaminess. No need to add any extra sugar as sweetened condensed milk already contains sugar.

4. Salt. Salt helps to balance the flavors.

5. Turmeric. This is an optional ingredient but ground turmeric helps heighten the yellow color of this mango ice cream. You can substitute with food coloring or totally leave this out.

P.S if you use turmeric note that it doesn’t alter the taste of the ice cream except if you add too much.

Recipe Variations

  • Add Milk Powder: Milk powder can provide structure to the ice cream and also prevent ice crystals from forming. You only need 2-3 tablespoons to get the job done. Add it to the cream when you whip it!
  • Add Citrus: You can include a small amount of lime juice or lemon juice if you want a citrusy undertone. Just be sure not to add too much because if there is too much water content the ice cream won’t firm up correctly.
  • Mango Coconut Cream Ice Cream: Swap half of the heavy cream with thick coconut cream and whip them together to include some coconut flavor! As long as you use thick coconut cream, it can whip up and increase in volume like heavy cream. You can also add coconut extract if you want a bolder flavor.
  • Mango Chamoy Ice Cream: Swirl some chamoy into the ice cream when transferring it to the loaf pan for a unique, tasty, and eye-catching dessert!

Substitutions

  • Mango: If you can’t get ahold of the fresh fruits, you can use a store-bought real mango fruit puree. For best results, check the ingredients to ensure the puree isn’t artificially flavored.
  • Salt: You can use table salt, kosher salt, or sea salt. If using kosher salt, add a pinch more since it isn’t as strong.

How To Make Mango Ice Cream

Here is how to make really easy mango ice cream:

1. Blend mango chunks into a puree.

2. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. You can use a mixer starting on medium speed and work your way up to high speed after soft peaks form. You can use a large bowl and whisk it by hand, but it might take longer this way.

3. To the whipped cream add sweetened condensed milk, mango puree, and salt. Beat everything together to combine and form the ice cream base.

4. If desired, add turmeric to heighten the yellow color.

5. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, pour mixture into a loaf pan (or other airtight container), cover it with plastic wrap, and freeze.

6. Scoop and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Mango Ice Cream

  • If it isn’t mango season where you live and you also can’t find mango puree at the grocery store, another option is to use canned mango pulp. However, it won’t have a smooth texture like puree. It often has some small mango chunks in it. Run it through a blender if you wish.
  • When making the fresh mango ice cream, you can also use a food processor instead of a blender to make the puree.
  • When you transfer the finished ice cream from a mixing bowl to a freezer-safe container for later use, it is crucial that you entirely cover it so ice crystals don’t form. You can even go an extra step and first press parchment paper on the exposed ice cream before wrapping it with the plastic.
  • Allow it to soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes (or even 15) when you take it out of the freezer to serve it. This makes it easier to scoop and eat.
  • Serving Ideas: Enjoy this yummy mango ice cream with natural ingredients like fresh fruits or spruce it up with some dessert sauce or whipped cream for a topping!
