This ice cream, composed of a vanilla base swirled with a mango lime puree, is not only pretty but also delicious! I’m not a huge fan of yellow, but I love the shade of yellow swirls! The mango and lime combination tastes like summer and is so refreshing!
How do you pick a mango?
You would want the ripest mango you can get you hands on. Since there are so many varieties with varying shapes, size, and colors, the best way to determine ripeness is by feel and smell. The ones you typically see in the grocery stores will have shades of red, orange, yellow when ripe. They should have very little to no green. A ripe mango should give very slightly when you put pressure on it with your hands. It should also have a fruity smell.
How to cut a mango:
I prefer to peel them with a paring knife or vegetable peeler, then cut my way around the large pit in the center. If you are unfamiliar with working with mangos, I found a good instructional link for various methods of peeling them here.
Helpful tips:
- If using frozen mango chunks, defrost and drain well then pat completely dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Use a powerful blender or food processor to puree mangos until smooth.
- The pureed mango should have the consistency of a thick smoothy.
Generally, instructions for no churn ice cream requires freezing time of at least 6 hours. I find the ice cream tend to be too soft at this stage. Freeze overnight or the day before for optimal firmness. You be the judge of yours.

A kajillion to one! And I hit it! I have a better chance of hitting a multi million dollar lottery ???? You have a great week Kelsie!!
this ice cream sounds so fantastic! and haha those shoes adventures (; i was in vegas a few months ago, and everyone at the pool had the same flipflops as me, and someone accidentally took mine. i ended up having to wear my hiking boots that i left in my car (was too lazy to take them out) for the rest of the trip, and it was quite a look (;
Hopefully you get some good luck coming your way soon! This ice cream is perfect for summertime. Love the combo of mango and lime!
LOL! Sometimes laziness pays off 😉 You have the advantage of being young and can pull that "I totally meant to do that" look and get away with it! ????
I sure hope so! I hope it will be in a form of a piece of paper with a dollar sign and lots of digits to the left of the decimal point!! ????
OH Thao! Your story made me laugh – it is definitely something that would happen to me too!! Thank goodness for ice cream breaks 😉 Loving the flavours and you KNOW I am a big no-churn fan!!
I know, Katherine! ???? Who needs an ice cream maker?! I'm glad you like the story. I was hoping I'd wake up to find that it was just a bad dream…but it wasn't. That's okay because it's something I can look back an laugh at 🙂
Perfect excuse to go shoe shopping. And hooray for ice cream season–this looks so good!
