Mango Ice Cream Recipe
100% homemade from scratch
Rich, creamy ice cream full of mango flavor
eggless no cook recipe
Delicious to the core
Mango Ice Cream Ingredients
Mango
Fresh ripe and sweet mangoes. The taste and flavor of your mango ice cream is directly proportional to the quality of mangoes you use. I always prefer to use ripe alphonso mangoes in this recipe. Alphonso mangoes are sweet, vibrant in color and less fibrous. You can also use kesar or other ripe mangoes.
Cream
Ideally you should be using heavy whipping cream. However in Indian markets we get only low fat and medium fat cream. So you can very well use it as I did here. I have used ow fat amul fresh cream in this recipe. Just chill the cream and whip till soft peaks are formed.
Milk Powder
Milk powder adds richness and a soft texture to this mango ice cream. Use any brand unsweetened milk powder.
Sugar
Finely powdered sugar works best here. I prefer to use granulated white sugar in this recipe.
Vanilla
Vanilla adds a nice flavor to this ice cream but it is optional. You can leave it out.
Making Ice Creams At Home
We can make ice cream at home in many ways. I usually follow two ice cream base recipes for my homemade ice creams. First one is the ice cream base with fresh cream, milk powder and flavor.
The second method is using condensed milk, fresh cream and flavor. You can check my tender coconut,water melon ice cream recipes for this method.
Both the methods yield tasty and rich ice creams at home especially without an ice cream maker.
In this recipe I made the base with fresh cream and milk powder. I prefer not to add milk in my ice cream recipes much.
Milk increases the chance of crystallization so I use milk powder instead. Also adding milk powder gives the rice cream a rich texture in the absence of condensed milk.
This ice cream recipe uses freeze and blend method. That is you have to take the partially set ice cream and whip or blend to make it creamy and soft. Here I am also mentioning another easy recipe for mango ice cream. You can follow this method for richer texture and also especially if you want to avoid churning.
To make this ice cream we need fresh mango puree. So you make puree with ripe and juicy mangoes. Select ripe and sweet mangoes so that you can reduce the sugar. Especially with less sugar the flavor of mango will shine through the ice cream.
How To Mango Ice Cream Step by Step
1. First of all place a mixing bowl for whipping cream and a container to freeze ice cream in freezer for 1 hour. Peel and remove the stone from mangoes. Chop the mangoes roughly. Transfer to a blender jar and puree the mangoes. You an even use aamras, but reduce sugar while whipping cream.
2. Add milk powder and 1/2 cup milk to the mango puree. Blend again until smooth and light.
3. Take the mixing bowl from the freezer. Add thick chilled cream to it. Add powdered sugar and start whipping. You can whip using a beater or hand whisk. Whip until the cream is light and fluffy.

Transfer the ice cream mixture to a freeze safe container and cover airtight. Freeze for 8-10 hours. Scoop and serve.

Tips For Making Best Mango Ice Cream
- Use sweet and ripe mangoes that are less fibrous.
- Do not add more mango puree than mentioned as that will reduce the creaminess. So try and use very flavorful mangoes for more mango flavor.
- You can use full fat fresh cream if available. More fat in the cream, more creamy ice cream.
- Always keep the ice cream for freezing in a container closed airtight container as otherwise there will formation of ice crystals. ,
