Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup Mango Puree
- 1/2 cup Coconut Cream
- 1 Banana, ripe
Nuts and Flavoring
- 1 Tbsp Cashews, grated
- 1 Tbsp Walnuts, grated
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine the mango puree, coconut cream, ripe banana, grated cashews, grated walnuts, and vanilla extract.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This will ensure a uniform texture in the final ice cream.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream mold or a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly.
- Freeze for 6-8 hours, or until the ice cream is solid. Freezing for a longer time allows the flavors to meld and the ice cream to harden properly.
- Serve and enjoy this refreshing treat!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a swirl of contrasting flavor, fold in a ribbon of homemade raspberry or passionfruit puree just before freezing to add tartness and visual appeal.
- Toast the cashews and walnuts lightly before mixing them in to enhance their crunch and deepen their flavor, providing a more pronounced nutty note against the creamy mango base.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, reserve some diced fresh mango and stir it in after blending, right before the final freeze, for pockets of juicy fruit in every bite.
Expert Tips
- For an extra smooth ice cream, use frozen mango chunks that have been thawed slightly before blending.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sweetener before freezing. Taste the mixture after blending and adjust accordingly.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe! Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours, stirring every 30-60 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming, until firm.
Storage Instructions
- This ice cream stores well in an airtight container for up to two weeks. For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping to soften naturally.
