The wholesome goodness of homemade mango ice cream
This to-die-for fruit ice cream delivers a flavour burst of the real McCoy without a single bit of artificial flavouring or added sugar in sight. Try to use sweet-tasting mangoes if possible and ensure that the mangoes are not fibrous.
If you can’t get hold of fresh mangoes, packaged mango pulp makes for an easy substitute to whip us this yummy ice cream.
Easy does it: Tips for the perfect ice cream
Whip the cream (heavy cream or whipping cream are the best options) until you get stiff peaks on medium-high to high speed. Do not overdo as the cream can curdle.
Fold the mango pulp into the yoghurt and cream gently. Do not mix vigorously as this could cause the mixture to fall flat and lose its volume, resulting in a dense texture.
