Ingredients
Mango Base
- 1/2 cup Mango Puree
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
Vanilla Base
- 500 gm Milk
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Tbsp Icing Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Garnish (Optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the mango base. Peel and dice a ripe mango.
- Blend the diced mango with ½ cup of heavy cream until smooth. This creates a vibrant and flavorful base for the mango ice cream.
- Pour the mango mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
- In a saucepan, simmer the milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to ¼ of its original volume. This concentrates the milk's flavor and creates a richer ice cream.
- Allow the reduced milk to cool completely. Once cooled, add the vanilla extract, icing sugar, and remaining ½ cup of heavy cream.
- Using a hand blender or whisk, beat the vanilla mixture until light and frothy. This incorporates air and creates a smoother texture.
- Pour the vanilla mixture into a separate freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
- Once both ice creams are frozen, scoop them into bowls or cones. Serve and enjoy this delightful dual ice cream treat!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a layered presentation, pour the mango and vanilla mixtures alternately into the container, then gently swirl with a skewer to create a marbled effect before freezing.
- If you prefer a softer, scoopable texture, remove the ice cream from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving, or add 1-2 tablespoons of vodka or rum to the base to lower the freezing point without altering the flavor noticeably.
- Chop fresh mango pieces and fold them into the mango layer for bursts of real fruit in every bite, or try adding roasted chopped pistachios or cashews for extra crunch and a traditional Indian touch.
Expert Tips
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor. If fresh mangoes aren't available, you can substitute frozen mango chunks, but be sure to thaw them completely before blending.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream instead of regular milk or cream.
- Don't overmix the ice cream base, as this can incorporate too much air and result in a icy texture.
Storage Instructions
- Store the ice cream in a shallow, airtight container and press a layer of parchment paper or cling film directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
