MANGO ICE CREAM

MANGO ICE CREAM

 

Mangos are in the season and thought of sharing one more recipe of it, which we can have it with enjoyment and without any guilt. I’m really excited to share this recipe with you all as this ice cream is so creamy, soft and rich with flavours.

This homemade ice cream is much better than the store bought where they are flavoured with artificial colours, flavours and sweeteners and on the top its safe to give our children’s. That’s what I mean you can have this ice cream without any guilt as you know what’s there in it.

In this recipe I have added Kesar / Saffron and fresh mango bites but its optional you can skip them if you want. Similar ways you can prepare your own flavoured ice cream with different fruits too. Voila!!! What else we need now lets start straight with our recipe.

Ingredients:

250 ml heavy or double cream

200ml condensed milk

200ml thick and fresh mango pulp

1tblpsn fresh lemon juice

Few strands of Kesar/ Saffron (Optional)

½ Mango cut in small bites size bits (optional)

Method:

1. Chill the bowl that will be used to whip the cream in freezer along with heavy cream and    whisk attachments in the freezer for 10 – 15 minutes.

2. In the chilled bowl add the heavy cream, condensed milk and lemon juice and whip the mixture till you get stiff peaks. Don’t overbeat otherwise will get chilled butter instead of ice cream.

3. Now add the saffron strands, Mango pulp and mango bites in the cream and fold them gently but very well with the help of spatula to incorporate as much as air possible in the process. This process helps to makes the ice cream light and airy.

                                             

4. Pour the mixture in airtight container. While pouring the mixture create as much as folds as you can to trap even more air in the process.

5. Cover the container tightly and place it in the freezer for overnight to set.

6. Before serving the ice cream remove the ice cream container from the freezer and let it rest for few minutes at room temperature. This will help to easily scoop out the ice cream.

7. Our ice cream is ready. I like to serve my mango ice cream with honey drizzled on the top. Yummmmy!!!!!!!

NOTE:

• Chilling of bowl, cream and whisk attachment is a very important step to whip the cream for any purpose. This helps the cream to whip at a greater volume making it nice airy and fluffy.
• This ice cream stays up-to a week or more may be not sure coz mine always got over within a week. ;-)
• Can use the same recipe to make your favourite flavoured ice creams. For Anjeer ice cream soak them overnight and grind them to a fine paste and use.
• You can chop medium chunks of mangoes and serve with a dollop of mango ice cream on top. It tastes yummy believe me.
