Mango Ice Cream (No Churn, 3 Ingredients)

Delicious creamy mango ice cream recipe made with fresh mangoes. It is an egg free, no churn, easy ice cream recipe that can be made at home with just 3 ingredients. If you don’t have fresh mangoes, you can also use canned mango pulp for making this ice cream.

Whenever I say mango ice cream, it reminds me of my grandmother or “amma” who used to prepare it in hot sweltering summers when we were kids. The word instantly brings the picture of my amma placing huge steel containers full of homemade mango ice-cream in freezer.

What I love about food is, it has a bizarre magic quality of transcending you to a moment which you had lived years before. Taste, aroma or sometimes a small visual cue is enough to remind you of a memory which you might have forgotten long back.

I have never liked mango ice creams sold in the market as most of them have artificial flavours and strong presence of mango essence completely putting off the taste buds.

The best part about this homemade mango ice cream recipe is that it uses fresh mango pulp. No preservatives, artificial colours or essence are added. It is so easy to make, no churn & can easily be made anytime at home without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients for mango ice cream:

The three ingredients used in this recipe are –

Mango pulp
Condensed milk (sweetened)
Heavy cream / Whipping cream (unsweetened)

Add powdered sugar as per your taste if you are using unsweetened cream or if mangoes are less sweet. I have also added some chunks of chopped mangoes in the ice cream mixture for bursts of mango flavour in every bite. For best flavour I would recommend using Alphonso mangoes for making this ice cream.

What type of cream should be used for making this mango ice cream?

These days you get two variety of whipping creams in market- dairy & non-dairy. Any of the two can be used in making this ice cream.

Dairy whipping cream or heavy cream gives the ice cream a rich, creamy & velvety texture. I always prefer using heavy whipping cream for making ice creams at home. Non-Dairy creams (like Tropolite or Rich) can also be used and as they are already sweet, you don’t need to add more sugar in the recipe.

Can I use Amul Fresh Cream in this ice cream recipe?

Amul is a known dairy brand in India. Amul ‘Fresh cream’ comes in a blue box & is a low fat cream (25% fat) because of which you don’t get that smooth texture in ice cream. It has now also launched its dairy whipping cream which comes in a red coloured box (shown in video also) and has 30% fat content which makes it more suitable for whipping & ice cream making. (Please note it is not a promotional / paid post. I am just sharing my experience about this cream brand.)

Many people often complain about ice crystals in their homemade ice creams but if you follow the proportions and method as per this recipe you will not get any ice crystals. I definitely avoid adding food colours or artificial essence in homemade ice creams, however if you wish you can add some yellow food colour or mango essence.

Things to do before you start making ice cream at home :

Chill the bowl in fridge for an hour or so in which you are planning to whip the cream along with the whisking blades. This ensures the cream does not quickly come to room temperature while whipping.
Chill the whipping cream overnight in fridge. If you are using frozen whipping cream then thaw the amount which you will be using for ice cream in fridge only.

Kitchen equipments Used: I have used electric whisker for whisking the cream. However you can use manual whisker too (Though it might take a bit longer to whisk the cream).

Ingredients:

Mango Pulp- 1 cup (Roughly 2 medium sized mangoes)
Heavy Whipping Cream- 1 cup
Condensed Milk (sweetened)- 1/2 cup
Powdered Sugar- 1/2 cup
Finely Chopped Mangoes- 1/2 cup

Notes:

Skip adding powdered sugar if you are using sweetened whipping cream.
I have used fresh mango pulp here. You can use canned mango pulp too. For best taste, use alphonso mangoes.
Here I have used dairy whipping cream. You can also add non-dairy whipping cream like ‘Tropolite’ for making this mango ice cream.
You can increase the quantity of sugar as per your taste in this ice cream.

Directions:

Step 1:
Take chilled whipping cream in a bowl. Whisk till the cream becomes light, fluffy & you start noticing soft peaks. The cream would almost become double in volume.

Remember to stop & scrape the sides of the bowl while whipping cream. This ensures that the batch is evenly whipped. Also, keep checking for soft peaks as sometimes over whipping can cause the cream to split. Transfer this whipped cream in refrigerator and let us move to the next step.

Step 2:
Chop the mangoes, add them to a blender jar and blend them well to get a smooth mango puree. You can even use canned mango pulp at this step.

Step 3:
To the above mango puree, add condensed milk & powdered sugar. If you have used ‘sweetened whipping cream’, then skip adding powdered sugar. Whisk the ingredients well so that mixture become light & airy.

Step 4:
Start adding the above mango mixture to the whipped cream gradually. Fold the mixture gently as we don’t want to loose the whipped cream aeration. Add freshly chopped mango pieces too while folding.

Step 5:
Transfer the above ice cream mixture in an airtight freezer safe container. If the container is not airtight or you are using an open ice cream container, seal the top with a cling film such that the cling film is slightly touching the top surface of ice cream. Freeze the ice cream for 5-6 hours or overnight.

Step 6:
Once it is set, scoop and enjoy yummy mango ice cream. Bon Appetit!!

Variations:

For flavouring you can add vanilla extract, mango essence, cardamom powder (~1/4 tsp) or saffron (kesar). Saffron strands add lovely warm yellow colour and aroma to ice cream. Before using, dissolve them first in 1-2 tbsp warm milk and crush with back of spoon.
For brighter colour, few drops of edible yellow color can be added to ice cream cream mixture.
You can add finely chopped mango pieces, fruit bits (tutti frutti), chopped nuts like pistachios or chocolate chips for added texture in ice cream.
Add swirls of mango pulp or chocolate sauce in ice cream. Pouring 1/3 mixture, drizzle mango pulp (or chocolate sauce) and create swirls using tip of knife. Repeat the process. This way when you will scoop the ice cream later you will get contrasting highlights in ice cream.
For slightly tangy taste, you can add 1/4 to 1/3 cup cream cheese instead of heavy cream in ice cream mixture.
