In this crazy summer heat, it’s only proper that we take advantage of the mango season and make some ice cream. As long as you have tasty, ripe mangoes, this 5-minute mango ice cream is incredible and super easy to make. With fresh fruit, cream, sugar, you have a yummy ice cream that’s a lot healthier than what you would get outside.
Ingredients
- 3 Medium-size or 350 Grams Ripe Mango Flesh (I used 3 Indian Sindoori mangoes; you can use any variety)
- 2 1/3 Tablespoons White Granulated Sugar (optional, depending on how sweet your fruit is)
- 2-3 Strands Saffron (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon Hot Water (optional)
- 140 ml Light Cream (25% Fat) Very Cold but Not Frozen (I used Mother Dairy, you can use heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free)
Preparation
Prep: 5 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes
- Pre-prep – Cut mangoes and cube the flesh, then freeze in an airtight container for at least a day.
- Steep 2-3 strands of saffron in 1 tablespoon hot water. Press the strands with a spoon and allow it too steep for 15 minutes. Then strain it and keep the saffron water in the refrigerator.
- To make the ice cream – Blend the mangoes, sugar (if using) and salt in a blender or food processor until well-combined.
- Add the saffron water and cream in a slow stream until fully incorporated. Serve immediately.
- Alternatively, you can freeze it but when I tried, some ice crystals formed, though it was still incredibly tasty. I also read online that it would have to get frozen very quickly for the ice crystals not to get formed.
