Introduction:

Mangoes are a big favourite in our family, especially the sweet Alphonso variety. My wife suggested making a simple mango ice cream at home, which was a hit! This easy recipe uses just a few ingredients and avoids milk to keep the ice cream creamy. You can add a bit of cardamom if you like, but that’s up to you.

Ingredients:

– 2-3 ripe Alphonso mangoes (peeled and chopped) or 1 cup packed Alphonso mango pulp

– 1 cup heavy cream (chilled)

– 1/2 cup condensed milk

– 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

– Fresh mango slices or mint leaves for garnish

Note on Sugar:

– If you’re using fresh mangoes, you might want to add some sugar, depending on how sweet the mangoes are.

– If you’re using packed mango pulp, it usually already has sugar, so you do not need to add more unless you like it.

Steps:

1. Mix Mango and Condensed Milk:

   – Mix the mango puree (or packed pulp) in a wide container with the condensed milk until smooth.

2. Whip the Cream:

   – In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream until it gets fluffy and forms soft peaks.

3. Combine Everything:

   – Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture. If you want to use cardamom, add it now.

4. Freeze and Remix:

   – Pour the mixture into an airtight container and freeze. After 2 hours, take it out and stir well to break up any ice crystals.

5. Final Freeze:

   – Put it back in the freezer for another 6 hours or until completely frozen.

6. Serve:

   – Scoop into bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mango slices or mint leaves if you like.

Conclusion:

This Alphonso Mango Ice Cream is super easy to make and tastes delicious! There is no need for milk, so it stays creamy. Depending on your mangoes or pulp, you can make it as sweet as you like. Try this simple recipe and enjoy a tasty treat with your family!
