Mango Ice Cream Recipe

Delicious and creamy homemade ice cream flavored with fresh or frozen mango. Pure mango puree makes an ice cream with a distinctive tropical flavor.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 10 minutes
Additional Time: 6 hours
Total Time: 6 hours 20 minutes
12 servings

Ingredients 

  • 12 oz mango slices (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons rum (see note)
  • 16 oz heavy cream (2 cups)
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 6 oz granulated sugar (1 cup)

Instructions

  • In a food processor, puree 12 oz mango slices until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine sieve. Add 2 tablespoons rum to the puree and refrigerate it while you make the ice cream base.
  • Heat 16 oz heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium high heat until scalding hot.
  • While the cream heats up, whisk together 5 egg yolks and 6 oz granulated sugar in a small bowl.
  • Once the cream mixture is scalding hot, pour it into the bowl with the yolks and whisk to combine
  • Return the entire mixture to the saucepan and heat over medium low heat, stirring constantly. Cook the custard until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not allow it to come to a full boil. Remove from the heat and pour back into the bowl from the yolks. Add the cold mango puree to the custard and stir to combine.
  • Cover the bowl and chill until very cold. At least 4-5 hours or over night.
  • Freeze according to the directions for your ice cream machine.
  • When the ice cream is ready, scoop it into a container and smooth to an even layer. Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream, cover tightly and freeze until firm.

Notes

You can use 2 tablespoons of vodka in place of the rum. You can skip the alcohol altogether but the ice cream will freeze slightly firmer.
