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 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

Hi. thanks for the recipe. is it ok if I sub Manila mangoes for this recipe?
Hi Clara! Thank you for asking – yes, you can use Manila mangoes. 🙂 Enjoy!
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.
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!
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 😀
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
Hi Nami!
Thankyou so much! I made this for fiancee’s birthday – he loved it!
Hi Sarah! I’m so happy to hear that! Happy Birthday to your fiance! Thank you for your kind feedback! 🙂
I liked it. It helped me a lot thank you
Hi Tyler! Thanks for making this recipe! 🙂
I made this tonight but instead of whole milk I substituted full fat coconut milk. Instead of 3/4 cup sugar, I used 1/2 cup organic sugar and a bit of maple syrup. The mangoes are sweet on their own. I also mixed fresh lime juice with the lemon and grated the rind of both. My daughter said it’s the best homemade ice cream she’s had thus far (and I have made many).
Hi Jade! Aww I’m so happy to hear your daughter enjoyed this recipe. Yeah, you will need certain amount of sugar to make creamy ice cream (instead of icy), but I’m glad to hear 1/2 cup is a good amount to work with. Thank you so much for your feedback. My son loves mangoes so much, and his favorite is this one:

This is a great recipe! It is not to sweet and you can actually taste the mango! My family and I love it!
Hi Leila! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed it with your family. 🙂
This is great! I already tried it with mango and now I tried it with peaches and tasted even better!
Hi Leila! I’m so happy to hear you’ve been making ice cream with different fruits. Peaches! Ahhh that will be my favorite too! 🙂
I’m about to make your mango Iceream recipe.
Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed this recipe, Alison!
I chose this recipe as my first homemade icecream. It is delicious! I added a few slices of guava.
Hi Veronika! Thank you so much for trying this recipe! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it. 🙂
Just made this after a special request from my little boy.
Crazy easy and utterly delicious. Thanks for the recipe!!!
Hi Greg! I’m so happy to hear your son enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for your kind feedback. 🙂
Hi! Unfortunately went to the store today, and there was no cream. Quarantine issues. However, I’ve seen many recipes claiming of a heavy cream substitute- a mixture of butter and milk. Do you think this could work in this recipe?
Hi Kate! Hmmm I haven’t tried that before, so I can’t give any advice. 🙁 If you have a good source of information for how to substitute heavy cream, maybe give it a try? I am not too sure how it would work in this recipe as I haven’t tried that. Sorry, I wish I can help more!
Delicious!!
Hi Denise! Thank you for your kind feedback. 🙂
I made this yesterday with 4 ripe champagne mangoes. This was to die for. So easy and so delicious. I was worried about adding one whole lemon – but it did not make the ice cream tart. This is a keeper.
Hi Poojitha! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe. Thanks so much for your kind feedback! 🙂
