How was your weekend? Did you do anything mischievous, out of character or just plain ‘ol fun? If you did, you must tell me all about it! I not only live vicariously through you, but I also like to look for a bit of inspo when letting loose during my summer adventures.

It’s just… sometimes I feel like we’re so focused all year-long. Focused on work. Focused on finances. Focused on family. Focused on all the responsibility and etc. But what about the super important and completely necessary, but oft-ignored time to just chill? To just relax, unwind and let the breeze run through your hair?

That’s what today’s super easy homemade mango ice cream recipe is all about: letting yourself unwind, relax and just let that tropical summer breeze run through your hair. Or at least taste like it. In your mouth, not your hair. Oh, you know what I mean.

A long time ago, I started associating mangoes with the tropics and the tropics with relaxation, sunshine, and happiness. So you will join me in making, then scooping up two big scoops of this homemade mango ice cream, then enjoying the tropical flavors and just… relaxing? 🙂

  1. I just made this. I added an extra bit of maple syrup and pinch of sea salt. I put it in my ice cream maker and it’s super delicious. Thanks!

  2. Totally delicious, thank you! I used a lot more than 1 T maple syrup (the frozen mango chunks I bought weren’t very sweet/ripe, plus I have a sweet tooth ;)), and I added a tiny pinch of salt. So refreshing, so creamy, pretty healthy, and so easy!!

    1. Yay! I’m so happy to hear it was a hit for you! Tart mangoes can be a real bother, so I’m glad you were able to get a sweetness level you liked. Thanks for taking the time to let me know how it turned out for you!

    2. Love your blog! Every recipe I try turns out so well and I’m not a great cook haha. Love this mango treat, not sure if I’ll be able to wait the full 3 hours! Thanks!

      1. Thank you so much, Missy! Your comment means so much to me. 🙂 Also, lol, but I’d argue that you’re better than you think. 😉 So did you make the 3 hours?? I hope you loved it. Can’t wait to see what you think! Xo

  3. Great recipe, thank you.

    As a trick, I also take some pure mango puree from cartons and reduce that by as much as you can before it gets too dark, it has consistency when it gets cold, I’d also fold a little aquafaba through it before I freeze it.

    Treat these reduced vegan fruit stock cubes as flavorings some like apple juice you can reduce X5. I just seem to tolerate the reduced fruit rather than other sweeteners.

  4. This is super easy to make and turns out delicious!! Thank you for this amazing recipe. I can make amazing ice cream from the comfort of my own home.

  5. I know this recipe is supposed to contain just 3 ingredients, but I wanted to change it up a bit. I didn’t have enough frozen mango, so I added frozen peach. Then, instead of syrup, I used a good 1/3 cup honey (which I felt added depth of flavor), about a 1/2 tsp salt (I believe salt is important to balance the sweet), and a 1/4 tsp cardamom. It was awesome! An explosion of complex flavors. But I loved the simplicity of the base recipe. Thanks!

    1. I love that you changed it up to your liking–especially with a very flexible, non-baked recipe like this one. 😉 The frozen peaches, salt and cardamom sound like an incredible combo! Enjoy. 🙂

  13. LOOOOVE THIS! I will be making it all summer long! I think I may use a little honey this time and see if it comes out as amazing!

  15. I agree, taking time to chill is important! And I can think of no better way to chill that with a bowl of this delicious ice cream!

  18. Hi Demeter,

    Thanks for this awesome recipe! Can’t wait to try it. It sounds delicious.
    Is it possible to churn the mixture in a sorbet/ice cream maker, so that it doesn’t need to be to thawed for 20-60 minutes before it can be enjoyed?

    1. Hi Susan! The full-fat coconut milk in this recipe is what males the sorbet creamy, and it’s actually a totally different kind of milk than almond milk. You could try using a can of lite coconut milk, but the sorbet will have a different consistency (might be more icy). Hope this helps!
