Dairy-free Mango Ice Cream
Description
Dairy-free Mango Ice Cream focuses on two simple ingredients: frozen mango and coconut milk. The frozen mango is blended with coconut milk in a high-powered blender to a smooth, creamy consistency that mimics soft serve. The blending process involves pausing to scrape and press the mixture to ensure even blending and avoid thinning out the texture. This method avoids ice crystals and keeps the result smooth without needing an ice cream maker. It can be eaten straight after blending or placed in the freezer for a short time to firm up. Since the recipe depends on just fruit and a creamy base, it delivers a fresh mango flavor with tropical coconut undertones.
The texture is creamy and smooth due to the coconut milk fat content, and the natural fruit sweetness suffices without added sugar. It makes a refreshing, naturally dairy-free dessert suitable for warm days or when a cool treat is desired.
Using a powerful blender is key to success: weaker blenders may require extra liquid and result in a thinner, less satisfying texture. The ice cream is best eaten fresh to maintain soft serve quality; freezing it longer will harden the dessert and produce ice crystals.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mango frozen
- ¼ cup coconut milk
Instructions
- Place the coconut milk into a high powdered blender like a vitamix.
- Add the frozen mango on top.
- Blend and use a tamper to help you. You may need to pause and scrape the sides.
- Blender until completely smooth.
- Serve as is in bowls or transfer it to a freezer container for 30 minutes for a bit more firmness.
Notes
- A high-powered blender is essential for achieving the ideal creamy texture without adding extra liquid.
- Periodically scrape and press the ice cream down while blending to ensure smoothness.
- Serve immediately for soft-serve texture; freezing longer will cause hardness and ice crystals.
- No ice cream maker is necessary for this recipe.
