Craving something sweet but want to keep things clean and healthy? This creamy, dreamy mango ice cream is just what you need. Itβs made with real mangoes, thick yogurt, and a touch of honeyβno refined sugar, no preservatives, and totally kid-approved. Bonus: you can even shape it like a mango for that extra βwowβ factor.
Whether you’re making it for your little ones or just treating yourself on a hot afternoon, this recipe is a summer essential.
Ingredients (for 2β3 servings):
-
1 ripe mango (the sweeter, the better!)
-
60g hung curd or thick yogurt
-
1 tbsp milk
-
1 tbsp honey (optional β add more or less depending on your mangoβs sweetness)
How to Make It:
1. Scoop the Mango
Peel your mango and scoop out the juicy pulp. If your mango is nice and ripe, youβre already halfway to dessert heaven.
2. Blend Everything
In a blender, add the mango pulp, hung curd, milk, and honey.
Blend until itβs silky smoothβlike a mango smoothie, but thicker.
3. Pour into Moulds
Now comes the fun part! Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds or even a silicone mango-shaped mould if you have one. If not, any freezer-safe container works fine.
4. Freeze
Pop it in the freezer for at least 6β8 hours or overnight. The longer it sets, the creamier it gets.
5. Unmould & Enjoy
Once frozen solid, take it out, unmould gently, and dig in. That first bite? Pure tropical magic.
Tips & Twists:
-
Using Alphonso mangoes gives it a rich color and flavor.
-
Want a vegan version? Use coconut yogurt and a splash of almond milk.
-
You can skip honey altogether if your mango is naturally sweet.
This is more than just ice creamβitβs summer in a scoop. And the best part? You know exactly whatβs in it. Simple, clean, and so satisfying.
