Get two mango ice cream recipes that are going to be your new favorite summer treat. Smooth, fluffy, and soft these 3 ingredient mango ice creams are ridiculously easy to make with condensed milk, whipping cream, and mangoes. Learn to make these simple, straightforward recipes with my video and step-by-step photo guide.
You will find that both these mango ice cream recipes are easy. All you need is a blender to blend the mangoes and a beater or stand mixer to whip the cream. You do not need an ice cream maker at all.
The first version of mango ice cream has condensed milk, cream, and mangoes. The second version is made with only cream, sugar, and mangoes.
For both the recipes, I recommend using mangoes which make up for a thick pulp. Alphonso mangoes are best as they yield a thick pulp. Runny, juicy or watery pulp will form ice crystals in the ice cream. I also suggest including whipping cream or heavy cream.
Recipe 1: With Condensed Milk
This 3 ingredient mango ice cream is very easy and simple to make. All you need is a beater or a stand mixer and a blender.
The recipe does not have any added sugar as the sweetness from condensed milk is simply enough to sweeten the ice cream. Though if you prefer you can always add some sugar if needed.
Try to use sweet-tasting mangoes as you won’t need to include any sugar in the recipe. I had used the Indian variety of alphonso mangoes that were sweet. If in case your mangoes are not sweet, then add some sugar.
Out of mangoes? Do not worry. Packaged mango pulp is your companion here and use it to make the ice cream.
If you have access to Alphonso mangoes, include them. Having said that you can make this mango ice cream recipe with any variety of sweet mangoes. Though ensure that your mangoes are not fibrous.
Recipe 2: With Only Cream
This second variation is again a three-ingredient mango ice cream made with mangoes, fresh cream, and sugar or honey. Yes, vanilla is also added, which makes it the fourth ingredient. But it is entirely optional and you can simply skip it.
In this second variation of the mango ice cream recipe, you have to beat or whip the ice cream mixture when it is partly frozen. This adds an additional step to the recipe. But let me tell you that the flavors and textures are great and what you get is soft smooth ice cream.
During the summers, I make these mango ice cream recipes a couple of times. In the Indian summer season, the markets are flooded with mangoes. I always make it a point to buy organic mangoes in this season.
