Mango Ice Cream Recipe
Mango ice cream is a delicious summer treat. It’s fresh taste is refreshing on a hot day – but if you need a “pick-me-up” ice cream recipe in the winter, you can try this then too!
I’d been wanting to try this ice cream recipe for quite some time – then one day I happened to see the mangos on sale and I couldn’t resist any longer. The result? This delicious recipe.

How to Choose a Mango in the Store
If you’ve never had to regularly select a mango at the store, let me give you some tips on how to find the best one.
Appearance
First, I know I’m always attracted to “pretty things,” but when it comes to mangoes – don’t worry about the color. Color doesn’t matter. More or less red does not indicate ripeness.
Touch
The best indicator of ripeness is to feel the mango. The mango should be somewhat firm (not mushy), but have some give to it when you gently squeeze it.
Smell
If you smell the mango at the top, where the stem would have been, you can often smell that mango smell.
Intensifying the Color
Naturally, this ice cream is a pale orange in color.
Do you want a more intense mango color?
Simply add some food coloring to the ice cream until you achieve the color that you’re looking for.
Adding more mango would dilute the ice cream and it would turn out too icy and not creamy enough.
Serving Tip
Enjoy this ice cream garnished with a slice of lime.
