Tropical Mango Ice Cream

Mango lovers, this is your dessert dreams come true! All you need are mangoes, yoghurt, cream and wafer biscuits to make this refreshing homemade mango ice cream recipe.

These vanilla wafer ice cream sandwiches make for the ultimate summer dessert. All you need is a food processor to puree the mangoes and an electric mixer or hand beater to whip the cream. And then it is just a matter of blending and chill time for the ice cream to set. No need for an ice cream maker!

Being a sweet and tasty tropical fruit, the mango ice cream is complemented to perfection with the hint of coconut in the yoghurt, as well as the vanilla wafer biscuits.  

The wholesome goodness of homemade mango ice cream

This to-die-for fruit ice cream delivers a flavour burst of the real McCoy without a single bit of artificial flavouring or added sugar in sight. Try to use sweet-tasting mangoes if possible and ensure that the mangoes are not fibrous. 

If you can’t get hold of fresh mangoes, packaged mango pulp makes for an easy substitute to whip us this yummy ice cream.

Easy does it: Tips for the perfect ice cream

Whip the cream (heavy cream or whipping cream are the best options) until you get stiff peaks on medium-high to high speed. Do not overdo as the cream can curdle.

Fold the mango pulp into the yoghurt and cream gently. Do not mix vigorously as this could cause the mixture to fall flat and lose its volume, resulting in a dense texture.
