Soft, creamy, and full of intense mango flavor, this homemade mango ice cream is a celebration of summers and mangoes! Made with juicy Alphonso mangoes, you’ve never had a more delicious mango ice cream made at home!
The ice cream is made from scratch with just 3 ingredients. No cooking, no churning required. Just fold the condensed milk and mango pulp with whipped cream and freeze!
It is soft and creamy, unlike many homemade ice creams where we struggle with icy bits. When I posted the chikoo ice cream recipe, I was thinking this mango ice cream recipe should have been my first summer ice cream recipe as this is the first one I make every summer and keep making as soon as a batch gets over and as long as the mango season lasts 🙂
A favorite amongst all, this homemade mango ice cream is full of real mangoes. I added both mango pulp and tiny chopped mango pieces. No store-bought mango ice cream can come close to it in its intense mango flavor. And it is perfectly scoop-able like the store-bought ice creams without using any chemicals or preservatives. A lot of ice creams on the market contain a chemical called GMS or CMC to make it creamier.
The base of this simple 3-step ice cream recipe is whipped cream folded into condensed milk. The creaminess of the ice cream comes from condensed milk and whipped cream aerates the mixture which prevents icy bits. You can add any flavor to this base. Maybe some cocoa powder and choco chips or some strawberries, or coffee, or salted caramel! The mixing bowl is your playground!
This is my last batch of mango ice cream for this season. The rains have now started and the mangoes will soon start to lose their sweetness. Though I am stowing away some mango pulp in the freezer too for recipes like mango and chia seeds pudding or the light and fluffy mango soufflé. I can never have enough mangoes and having some mango pulp in the freezer means I can always whip up these delicious desserts! What is your favorite mango recipe?

- 300 ml sweetened condensed milk (1 tin)
- 400 ml whipping cream
Instructions
- Peel and chop the mangoes. Puree two mangoes to a thick pulp and cut one into very small pieces.

- To serve, take the ice cream out of the freezer 5 mins before serving. Open, remove the cling wrap, scoop and serve!
Notes
- Choose the juiciest and most ripe mangoes for the recipe.
- To give it an Indian touch, add 1 tsp of green cardamom powder, a pinch of saffron, and/or a few chopped pistachios.

So easy and delicious! I used organic canned mangoes in its own juice. I drained the juice and drank it! LOL! blended the mangoes and condensed milk whipped the cream into stiff peaks and folded in the mango puree, I then put in in my ice cream churner for 15 mins and it was perfect. put the clear wrap on the ice cream to prevent ice crystals put on the lid and stuck it in the freeze until needed. Thank you!
