    Expert Tips

    • The ripeness of the mango can affect the flavor and texture of the nice cream. Make sure to use ripe mango that is sweet and juicy for the best results.
    • It's important to use frozen mango in this recipe as it creates the right texture and consistency for the nice cream. If the mango is not frozen, the nice cream will be more like a smoothie than an ice cream.
    • Make sure to blend the ingredients until they are completely smooth and creamy.
    • A high-speed blender or food processor will give you the best results for this recipe.

    Variations

    • Strawberry: Add a cup of frozen strawberries to the blender with the mango and coconut milk for a fruity and sweet twist.
    • Peach: Substitute frozen peaches for some of the mango for a slightly different flavor.
    • Banana: Add a frozen banana to the blender to add creaminess and a touch of natural sweetness.
    • Lemon: Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon for a zesty and refreshing twist.
    • Coconut: Add a tablespoon of coconut flakes or shredded coconut to the blender for a touch of coconut flavor and texture.
    • Chocolate: Stir in a handful of dark chocolate chips or cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.

    Storing

    To prevent freezer burn, store your nice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. This will also help keep the nice cream from absorbing any odors from other foods in the freezer. Store the nice cream for up to 2-3 months in the freezer and still enjoy its delicious taste and texture.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen mango?

    Yes, you can use fresh mango, but it won't have the same creamy and frozen texture as nice cream made with frozen mango. You can freeze the fresh mango for a few hours before making the nice cream, or add some ice to the blender to compensate for the lack of frozen mango.

    Can I use a different type of milk?

    Yes, you can use any type of milk you prefer, but keep in mind that the flavor and texture may be affected. Coconut milk provides the best texture and flavor for this recipe, but you can also use almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk if you prefer.

    Can I use a different sweetener?

    Yes, you can use any type of sweetener you prefer, such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. The amount of sweetener you need may vary depending on the type you use, so adjust it to your own personal tastes.

    Can I make this recipe without sugar?

    Yes, you can make this recipe without sugar, but it may not be as sweet. You can use a sugar substitute or omit the sugar entirely, and add some extra vanilla extract or other flavorings to compensate for the lack of sweetness.

    Can I make this recipe without a blender or food processor?

    It's possible to make this recipe without a blender or food processor, but it may be more challenging to get the mixture smooth and creamy. You can use a hand-held immersion blender or a fork to mash the mango and coconut milk together, but it may take more time and effort.

      YUM! Loved this so much and it was so easy. It was a decadent sorbet texture, and it only lasted 2 days before we ate it all.

      I am going to try this right now. With raspberries. I will try it out with stevia instead of sugar, and the baggie method.
