As I get older time seems to fly by quicker and quicker, especially after having kids. Each year as the children grow, time seems to shrink inversely, each second goes by just a bit faster. When I realized that it’s July already, it hit me that my mom is visiting in 2 weeks. She’s coming from Japan and will stay with us for 2 weeks. Last time she was here was 3 years ago when I gave birth to my daughter, but we’ve seen her a few times since then when we went back to Japan for vacation.
We are so excited to see her but there is so much to do! I have to clean the house inside and out, and we have to finalize our family trip to Seattle, and I have to finish writing up my posts before she comes! Why such panic? Let’s say…she doesn’t think that it’s healthy to sit in front of computer all night (working on the blog) and I also think I should spend as much time with her as I can.
Just when I needed a little more time in my life, my kids’ preschool will be on summer break. Now I have to figure out some activities for two kids in the morning. I really don’t know how I’m going to fit everything I have to do in my 24 hours! It’s going to be a challenge…
So today, I’d like to share a Mango Ice Cream recipe. For the last month or so, I visited quite a few food blogs that had ice cream and sorbet recipes and I just had to buy the ice cream maker for myself. To celebrate the first batch with the new ice cream maker, I wanted to make a flavor that everyone in my family will enjoy. I followed the recipe from Tina‘s site Pinay in Texas Cooking Corner. So please visit her site for the original recipe, and when you are there, take a look around…you will enjoy her delicious Filipino food.
If you follow me on facebook, you probably know what kind of sorbet I’ll be sharing next. We really enjoyed that “secret flavor” as well. Since this site is my “just one cookbook,” I post the recipe here for my reference as well.
Have a great July 4th weekend if you are in the United States, and have a great weekend everyone!
I take forever to decide how to take pictures and look, ice cream is melting…

- 3 mangoes (3 mangoes = 2 cups) (peeled, seed removed and cubed)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup lemon Juice (¼ cup = 1 lemon) (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup milk
- Freeze the freezer bowl 24 hours prior to making ice cream. Wrap in a plastic bag so the bowl stays clean.
- In a blender, add mango, ¼ cup sugar, and lemon juice and puree until texture is smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, milk, and the remaining ½ cup sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Stir in the pureed mango and gently stir to mix.
- Cover and chill the mixture in the fridge for at least one hour. I put it in the freezer for one hour.
- Set up the ice cream maker and press On. When the freezer bowl begins to turn, pour the mixture through the ingredient spout. Mix about 30 minutes or follow manufactures’ instructions.
- If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and store in the freezer for 3 or more hours before serving. My end result was still loose similar to frozen yogurt’s texture so I had to freeze it a couple more hours. Then it tasted perfect!
Equipment you will need:
- Ice cream maker

Wow, I’m the first one to write a comment!!!!
Well, yes your mother is right. You should not sit in front of your computer more than 1 hour a day ; ) We’ll see how you are going to survive for 2 weeks!
This mango ice cream certainly looks like the perfect dish to end dinner this weekend (or maybe every after meal) since it is going to be a sizzling weekend.
Have a wonderful looooong weekend!
Giulietta @ Alterkitchen
My boyfriend’s parents just lend me their ice cream maker (I want to make an ice cream cake for my birthday) and I’m just starting experimenting (now I’m making almond paste sorbet)… your mango ice-cream seems just perfect! 🙂
Maureen
Frozen mango? I can do that right now – no waiting for summer mangos.
Just thinking about your mother coming reminds me of how my mother used to come and visit me when I was a young mother. I would panic because dirt was afraid of my mother and I made friends with it early on. 🙂
Imagine how I felt when on the 2nd day she’s pulled out the kitchen stove and fridge to clean behind them because she knew how busy I was working and taking care of a family. I was mortified.
Tell your mother you cleaned under it already. LOL
Have a great time with her.
clara
Hi. thanks for the recipe. is it ok if I sub Manila mangoes for this recipe?
Nami
Hi Clara! Thank you for asking – yes, you can use Manila mangoes. 🙂 Enjoy!
sheri
Don’t you love the ice cream maker? Suddenly I feel like ice cream got better since I know exactly what goes in mine. I haven’t tried mango yet but this recipe seems very simple. I want to try all the fruit of summer before they disappear so fast, as you say. Your summer looks to be quite full of family fun. Enjoy! I worry the kids will grow up so fast and we’ll miss these carefree days. Happy 4th to you and your family Nami!
Sissi
Thank you, Nami, for this beautiful sunny recipe! I wish I could make ice-cream at home… I never have enough space in my freezer to fit the ice-cream maker container 😉 I must buy a real American fridge with a huge freezer (the two doors fridges are called here “American fridges”, really!).
I am sure your mum’s visit will be wonderful and you shouldn’t be so nervous (mind you, I am always as nervous as you when my family comes!). Have a nice long week-end!
Marsha @ The Harried Cook
yummy! I love mango ice cream! Congrats on your new ice cream maker! Aren’t they so much fun? 🙂 you’ve done a great job with this recipe :)it’s great that you are going to spend time with your mother! My mom feels the same way about computers too 🙂 i hope all chores get done with no stress 🙂 great post, Nami!
Shu Han
I saw this at PinayinTexas’ site earlier too! Your recreation looks so beautiful I will definitely have to try this soon (:
Maris(In Good Taste)
You have inspired me to make a trip to Trader Joes for those mango chunks.
Sonia aka Nasi Lemak Lover
I wish to have a cup of your mango ice cream right now, because weather here is hot and hot! glad to know your mother is visiting you, so you will learn more new recipes from her right? Have a nice rest and holiday on 4th July.
Mr. Three-Cookies
I used to live in a country where mangoes were in absolute abundance, there was so much that it would drop to the ground and rot. But we never heard of mango ice cream. But we had strawberry ice cream made with imported strawberries. Stupid people:)
Nami
I think people want to eat FRESH fruit as it is instead of mixing it with something else. My mom used to make me eat fresh vegetables without dressing because vegetables have great taste already….
Belinda @zomppa
It is weird how time just FLIES. As a kid, I watched the clock move so slowly but now I can’t even keep up. I love mango anything, and this is definitely a favorite. Have a wonderful time with your mom – how special!!
Manu
Oh I know exactly what you mean Nami… time flies so fast! I am so happy for you though as having your mom over will be so great! My parents usually come for Christmas and those 3 weeks are my year long relief! They help me out so much and I am finally able to take a break! I hope you can have a break too!!! <3
Liz
Oh, boy, a new ice cream flavor to try. Nami, absolutely everything you make is gorgeous! I love stopping by. Have a wonderful holiday weekend with your family~
Peggy
This mango ice cream sounds like the perfect summer treat Nami!
Hopefully you’ll get everything you need to get done so you can enjoy your time away! Have a great weekend =)
Christy
Awwww, it’s sweet that your mum’s coming to visit soon:) I agree, mums always think that it’s unhealthy to sit in front of the pc for long hours…mine too, LOL…and who knows, someday you will say the same thing to your kids without you realizing it..hehe:)
Yeah, another agreement on the age thing, we ladies always think we are getting older each year..hehe:) Then again, take that in a positive way, everyone can be young, but how many can truly enjoy more experiences in life as they age gracefully? (Food for thought;)
While I am not a mango fan, I should save that recipe if I do ever learn to cook someday because my daddy loves mango!! He’s gonna love this:)
Allie
Yay I can finally comment again! For some reason your blog would show up in my google reader but I couldn’t click on it and when I typed in your web page my computer said it wasn’t there. I like wanted to cry. I am sooo glad I can comment and read now !! 🙂 YAY!
How awesome that your mom is coming to see you and I totally understand that you have a lot of work to do so don’t stress out about blogging too much; all of your readers love you and understand if you are busy!
Your mango ice cream looks magnificent… I can’t believe how easy it is 🙂
Natalie
I have just had my mum & auntie to stay and then my father in law. We just dropped him at the airport this morning, so I feel your pain. I loved having them all but it is exhausting, it’s so nice now to be able to relax and catch up with my blogging! Mango ice cream looks like the perfect thing for this muggy weather. And another good reason to buy that ice cream machine! Good luck & enjoy! 😀
Lyn
Precisely Nami! There are just too many things to do in so little time! Esp. when everything just come all together at once. 🙁
You and your family must be very excited and looking forward to her visit! 🙂
We’ll sure be missing your posts so much by then, Nami!
I always envy you ladies who get to make your own ice creams at home! Actually I can also if I want to but only when I really have the mood and patience to keep stirring and refreeze repeatly. LOL
Have a great weekend with your family and hope you enjoy the precious get-together time with your mom when she visits. 😀
Tina (PinayInTexas)
Trader Joe’s Mango Chunks are Haden mangoes right? I can imagine the slight sour taste from it compared to Manila or Ataulfo mangoes. I guess that’s what I really like about Filipino mango ice cream…it’s sweeter. But your version looks so good and delicious, Nami! Thanks for the shout out, btw…it’s much appreciated!
It’s very nice that your mom is coming for a visit. I envy you for having the chance to spend time with your mom. I’ve lost my mom 4 years ago, and I truly miss her. 🙁
I hope you’ll be able to accomplish everything that you have to do so your mom’s visit will be wonderful & memorable for all of you!
Enjoy the weekend! Happy 4th!
Nami
Oh Tina, you are the mango expert – I have no idea! So the ice can be sweeter than what I had? Wow! It was already pretty sweet and didn’t feel much sourness. I will try those mango next time! Thank you so much for the delicious recipe Tina! Will response the rest via email.
Terris-Free Eats Food
I’m so happy to hear that your mother is coming for a visit. What a treat for your family. I’m the same way though, always a lot to get accomplished before my mom visits! This ice cream looks delicious. Since I don’t eat dairy, I may try to adapt it with coconut milk. I will definitely let you know how it works out! Have a great 3 day weekend! It looks like the warm weather is coming back. 🙂
[email protected]
Nami, I fully understand you when you say that 24 hours are just not enough to do waht you have to do… When all comes together at once it can become very very stressful sometimes 🙁
I hope you all will have wonderful 2 weeks with your mum!
The mango ice cream looks fantastic! I got a new ice cream maker TODAY (yeiiiiiiii :))!and so I will definitely try this recipe! 🙂
Have a great weekend!
Jill @ Dulce Dough
Yesterday at the grocery store we were given a sample of a mango smoothie and I have had mango on my mind every since! This recipe looks so good…..I need to find my ice cream maker!
How wonderful that your mom is coming to visit! Enjoy your time with her!
Anncoo
Thanks for sharing for the mango ice cream recipe. We have lots of mango here and it is the right time for me to make ice cream or cake. 🙂
Happy weekend!
Firefly
It loos so good 😀 We love ice cream here! Enjoy your time with your mom and family 🙂 blog can wait, it’s not like we are going anywhere LOL 🙂
Firefly
Well I meant to say “It looks so good” 😛 Long day already LOL
kat
I hope to get a taste of some fresh mango while I’m here in Hawaii.
Cindy
Is it me or every one of my foodie friends are blogging about something I love and crave today? My stomach is growling of unhappiness because I don’t have sushi, wine, or mango ice cream! I need to move in with you while your Mom’s at SF, Mama are the best, their magical touch turns everything more delicious and cleaner!
Lyndsey ~The Tiny Skillet~
I like the picture even with the ice cream melting, I still want to take a bite. 😀 I have a bowl of mangoes waiting to ripen. I had no choice but to gather them before the squirrels eat them all. I think this is a perfect ice cream! have a great visit with your mom. I am impressed how much you get done with all you do!
[email protected]
You bought an ice cream maker! I am still stalling and waiting… For what I dont know. Where am i going to put one? LOL This looks great Nami- I am sure your kids are so excited with the ice cream maker!! Have a great time when your mom comes too!
Chum-Chum
Love Ice Cream:) Much more when they are with fruits! 🙂
Adora's Box
Mango ice cream is truly a filipino Favourite because we really delicious manggoes to make them with. Your ice cream really looks so creamy.
PolaM
I keep seeing awesome ice creams too…. I should go check out ice cream makers….
Carolyn
Mango ice cream…yumma! totally worth buying an ice cream maker for. And Trader Joe’s frozen mango is a staple in our house.
sensiblecooking
Nami that is wonderful way to make use of your new icecream maker. Well I feel like headless chicken already without having any kids, so I guess I can only imagine how your days fly by. Thank you for another wonderful recipe and have a great weekend.
Shawn
I love mangoes but never thought to make mango ice cream…Yours looks incredibly delicious!

とっても美味しそう！
トレジョーにいって私もマンゴー買って作ってみます。

Have fun while being busy..I miss family a lot here..its been almost 2 years since I went to or someone came from India..Have fun dear.This ice cream is no doubt my fav- coz It has mangoes!! Love the perfect yellow color and the simple recipe.Have a fun long weekend!
Shaz (feedingmykidsbetter)
We had a dozen super sweet Pakistani mangoes in my kitchen this last week. Made ice-pops with them, choc mango marble cake (my next post! ) and glutinous rice dessert… Haha… Mangoes overload!
Beth Michelle
How nice that your mom is coming for a visit!! It must be hard having her live so far away. It can get difficult I know since my family is back in the states! I hope you enjoy every minute of her visit! Your mango ice cream looks soooo amazing. We love mangos in this house and August is the start of mango season in Israel. Lucky for me it is right when I return from China. I will be sure to keep this in mind 🙂
Tiffany
Oh, I’m excited for you! How great that you’ll be able to spend time with your mom for 2 weeks (I’m sure you wish it was longer!). And I can’t wait to hear about your family vaca to Seattle! Good luck getting everything done! I’m sure, sweet and creamy mango ice cream makes it easier to be productive! 😀
Ray
Your mom is right! You shouldn’t spend a lot of time in front of the computer. Your computer will still be there even after your mom goes back to Japan, and you’ll only have your mom for two weeks. 🙂 Your ice cream looks really good that you’re making me wanna buy an ice cream maker. Should ask the boss (wife) first… 🙂
Kath (My Funny Little Life)
Aww, what a great idea! In summer, when it’s very hot (not like now … :?) I sometimes simply blend frozen fruit and have them as they are. That’s a nice ice-cream treat as well since I’m too lazy to do the hour-long freezing and stirring every now and then. 😉
Heidi @ Food Doodles
I know exactly what you mean! Time just goes crazy after you have kids! I can’t believe how fast they grow 🙁 And how fast everything else goes! I wish I could slow it down, haha.
Your ice cream looks beautiful! We love mangos at our house. I bet my husband would love this 😀
sheila @ Elements
Now this is my type of dessert!!! I adore mangoes, and I’m gonna have to try to make this sometime! Looks wonderful, and I’m sure it tastes divine!! 🙂
Hope you’re able to get everything done that you need to before your mother’s arrival. Sounds like you have a lot to do, but when it’s all done you’ll be able to enjoy a wonderful visit with your mom. You must be terribly excited!!
In the meantime, have a fun and safe relaxing 4th of July! 🙂
Raymund
Mangoes are my favourite fruit specially the Philippine ones, I always describe them as a “diabetes in a fruit” as they are so sweet. I would definitely want them in this ice cream recipe.
Jamie
I actually have a borrowed ice cream maker sitting on my counter right now taking up space. Now I can put it to good use! I love mangos and keep seeing them at the Farmer’s Market. Great post and perfect timing.
Medeja
Sadly here it’s not mango season.. 6 more months to wait.. Really great ice cream!
Jill Colonna
We all know it: Mums are always right. It’s true: it’s not healthy to sit up until all hours at night doing this. It’s addictive. I’m writing this with a herniated disc in bed and everyone thinks downstairs I’m sleeping. See? It’s wonderful but blogging is not good for you! I love how you’ve done this gorgeous mango ice-cream to keep cool. You need a clone or a cone of this to chill off each time you think you won’t manage. Hang in there. Your house is already fine. Don’t do anything more than you need to – your Mum will be just happy to see you!
Kim - Liv Life
Now this dish I will take any day in place of the octopus!!! 😉 Seriously, Mango has always been a favorite around my household and I always have a bag of those frozen guys in my freezer. So glad you go the ice cream maker! Ours does indeed get a workout in the summer.
As for the octopus… I bumped into my Japanese friend and asked her if she had a chance to see your post. She smiled and said “Yep… I like it”. You have a fan!!
Sandra's Easy Cooking
Hi Nami,
I am so impressed… you made an ice-cream and it looks so delicious. I love mango, but never had mango ice-cream..sounds incredible!
Chris's Gourmet Fashion
I know exactly what you mean about that time … always so many things to do and so little time … it really looks like twenty four hours in the day just got shorter … well I hope you mom enjoys her vacation and btw that ice cream looks simply delicious … if the recipe is coming from Tina … it must be good – I’ve really got to give this a try sometime. Have a great 4th of July!
Bee | Rasa Malaysia
Nami, mango ice cream sounds delicious. Happy 4th.
Cooking Gallery
Nami, you make me crave for some ice cream now…!! This is bad, because I just had ice cream yesterday ;)! I think it’s good that I have no ice cream machine, or I would make ice cream all the time ;).
Anne
Nami! This ice cream is beautiful! Have fun with your new ice cream maker! And enjoy your time with your mom and your family! Time really does fly….we just always need to make the best of it! : )
Kim Beaulieu
Hi Nami, this looks so refreshing and delicious. I just have to stop myself from licking the screen. I am trying to decide which ice cream maker to buy, any advice? I am going to get one this week and so excited about it. Then I need a food processor. It never ends. I hope you enjoy every moment with your Mom. xx
[email protected] in disguise
I know what you mean!
ever since my daughter finished school and I have been really struggling trying to fit in everything.
I haven’t been keeping up with all the blogs I love..so sorry
and I have alot of recipes that need writing..oh if only the day would be 36 hours lol
the mango icecream looks amazing and I hope your mum has a safe trip
Kelly
Oh, my… this looks so delicious and summer fresh that I may just have to go out and by myself an ice cream maker too!!
Roxana GreenGril
I always have mango chunks in the freezer. Tiffany likes them smashed and mixed with yogurt as her afternoon snack.
Your ice-cream sounds great. Later when we go into town I’m going to look for some mango ice-cream, although is not going to be anywhere close as good and creamy as yours.
Thanks for sharing Nami and Happy 4th of July!
Jihane @Sinful Sundays
This looks absolutely delicious! I love mangoes so, so much and this ice-cream recipe just makes me happy.
Priscilla - She's Cookin'
I happen to have two ripe mangoes on my counter and own an ice cream maker that should be used more often AND I love mango ice cream (sorbet or yogurt) because it’s so refreshing! Enjoy your mom’s visit – lol, one hour a day, I hope you get everything done and, if you don’t, you know we’ll still be here when you return 🙂
Biren @ Roti n Rice
Mango is one of my favorite fruits and I use it quite a bit in my cooking. I also love it in tea. Mangoes in ice cream sounds wonderful. The color is lovely too. I hear you. Ice cream is one of the most difficult to photograph. It drives me crazy! Have fun with your ice cream maker. Homemade ice cream can be addictive. 🙂
It is wonderful that your mom will be visiting soon. Hope you will not be too stressed trying to get everything ready.
Priya Mahadevan
First time here and nothing is a better attraction than mango-ice cream 🙂 looks YUMMY!
Priya Mahadevan
Nami, thanks for stopping back – do join my blog! would love to see you there 🙂 cheers, priya
Mariko
Ahhhhhh. I totally was lured over here with the promise of something else (which I will go back to in a minute) but I completely FORGOT that once I saw the mango ice cream. Um, yes, please! I want some mango ice cream. Too bad I have to wait at least 24 hours for my ice cream maker to chill. Crap.
Luckily we have tons of fresh mango. Too much! It’s a good problem to have, I guess. 🙂
A Little Yumminess
We are fans of mango ice cream. We make a mango buttermilk ice-cream with condensed milk that is quite yummy. Recipe is on our blog…I think you will like it!
demonangel
I love love love mangoes! I can’t wait to try this:)
Tataya Kudo
I wish I had an ice cream maker.:-) My kid loves mango and anything with mango. I ‘m sure he’ll love this. Can I just make it without ice cream maker? I heard that some people use a fork to whisk the ice cream. But I don’t think it will be as delicious as using the machine. Well, I think I’ll try with your recipe and I ‘ll let you know. 🙂
Nami
Yes please let me know if it worked without ice cream maker. I know a lot of people make ice cream without ice ream maker so I’m sure there are methods shared online somewhere. I hope you enjoy the taste of this ice cream!
Pinky
Lovely recipe made my day bright and yellow.Thank you
Ming
you are awesome! I love Japanese cooking. you own a great blog.Are you Japanese?
Raymund
Saw this because of your Strawberry cheesecake ice cream post, this is more interesting to me specially when mangoes is your favourite
Rick
I found your site while looking for mango ice cream recipes. What I most liked about this recipe was its simplicity.
I just made some from mango I picked in my backyard. Honestly, I couldn’t stop sampling it out of my running ice cream machine.
Nice recipes, great site and delicious mango ice cream.
I’ll be here often to sample other recipes.
Thanks.
Nami
Thank you Rick! I’m happy that you found my site. 🙂 You have mangoes in your backyard? So jealous! Your mango ice cream must be extra delicious! Thanks for stopping by!
Lexi
Wow. This an amazing mango ice cream recipe! When I making it I had to contain myself from just eating it straight out of the bowl! And when my dad tried the finished product, his eyes just lit up and he declared that it was one of the best desserts I’ve made! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe Nami. I’ve been really enjoying making your recipes for a while now, and they always come out delightful 😀
Nami
Hi Lexi! I’m so glad to hear your dad and you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for writing your kind feedback. Thank you for trying my recipes. You made my day!! xoxo
