Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (710 ml) frozen mango chunks
- 1 can (14 ounces / 400 milliliters) unsweetened coconut milk
Sweetener:
- ¼ to ½ cup (60 to 120 ml) honey
Optional Additions:
- None listed in the original recipe
Instructions
- Prepare the ice cream maker by ensuring the freezer bowl is thoroughly chilled according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, typically requiring overnight freezing to achieve optimal performance.
- Open the canned coconut milk and whisk thoroughly to eliminate any separation, creating a uniform liquid consistency that will blend seamlessly with other ingredients.
- Select ripe, sweet frozen mango chunks and place them into a high-powered blender, guaranteeing maximum flavor and smooth texture.
- Pour coconut milk and honey into the blender with the mango, processing until the mixture transforms into a silky, homogeneous liquid with no visible chunks.
- Taste the blended mixture and adjust sweetness by incrementally adding honey, ensuring a balanced flavor profile that complements the tropical mango essence.
- Retrieve the pre-chilled ice cream maker bowl and carefully pour the mango-coconut liquid into the machine’s chamber.
- Activate the ice cream maker and allow it to churn the mixture, which typically requires 15-25 minutes, until the consistency becomes thick and resembles soft-serve ice cream.
- Transfer the freshly churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the surface to create an even layer.
- Seal the container and place in the freezer, allowing the ice cream to solidify for a minimum of two hours before serving.
- When ready to enjoy, remove from freezer and let sit for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly, enhancing scoopability and releasing the full tropical flavors.
Notes
- Prep your ice cream maker in advance by freezing the bowl overnight to ensure smooth churning.

- Churn the ice cream precisely according to your machine’s specific instructions for optimal texture.
- Allow the ice cream to set in the freezer for at least 2 hours to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
