Description

Creamy mango coconut ice cream delivers tropical paradise on a spoon. Luscious Caribbean-inspired dessert melts smoothly, offering sweet escape for summer cravings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (710 ml) frozen mango chunks
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
  • ¼ to ½ cup (60 to 120 ml) honey

Instructions

  1. Chill Preparation: Freeze the ice cream maker’s bowl overnight to ensure optimal churning performance and smooth texture.
  2. Blend Base: Whisk coconut milk until uniform, then combine with ripe mango chunks and honey in a high-powered blender, processing until achieving a silky, homogeneous liquid with no visible fragments.
  3. Flavor Calibration: Taste the blended mixture, adjusting sweetness incrementally to balance the tropical mango profile and create a harmonious flavor experience.
  4. Churning Process: Pour the mango-coconut liquid into the pre-chilled ice cream maker, activating the machine and allowing it to transform the mixture into a thick, soft-serve consistency over 15-25 minutes.
  5. Freezing Technique: Transfer the churned ice cream into a sealed freezer-safe container, creating an even surface, and freeze for a minimum of two hours to achieve the perfect scoopable texture.
  6. Serving Ritual: Remove from freezer, let sit briefly to soften, then scoop and indulge in the creamy, tropical dessert that captures the essence of mango and coconut.

Notes

  • Chill Equipment Thoroughly: Freeze the ice cream maker’s bowl overnight for the smoothest, creamiest texture possible.
  • Blend for Perfection: Whisk coconut milk completely and blend mango mixture until silky smooth to eliminate any unwanted chunks.
  • Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Sample the mixture before churning and incrementally add honey to balance the tropical mango flavor.
  • Soften Before Serving: Let the ice cream rest 2-3 minutes at room temperature to enhance scoopability and release full tropical essence.
