Servings 1 X 470ml tub

Equipment

  • NC300 Ninja Creami machine with 470ml size tubs

Ingredients
  

  • 350 g ripe, sweet mango (I used Kensington Pride) see notes in body of post
  • 50 g caster/superfine sugar
  • 100 g thickened cream (35% fat, see notes - heavy/whipping in US/UK)
  • Pinch fine salt (optional)
  • Squeeze of lime juice if the mixture is tasting too sweet (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Blend the mango until smooth, then add the sugar and cream and pulse to combine. Once smooth, taste the mixture. If it tastes extremely sweet, you can add a squeeze (2-4 teaspoons) lime juice. Salt can also help balance and add contrast but it is an optional ingredient.
  • Pour the mixture into the 470ml Ninja Creami tub. It should come up to the fill line.
  • Freeze the mixture with the lid off for 16-24 hours. Freezing the mixture with the lid off can help avoid it developing a hump in the centre which may damage your machine.
  • When ready to process, use the ice cream function. I find this ice cream benefits from a re-spin, but if the mixture is creamy and smooth after the first spin there is no need.
  • Return leftovers to the freezer with the lid on.

Notes

  • Read the notes in the body of the post before starting. They are important to success, I promise.
  • Thickened cream contains around 35% fat here in Australia. The equivalent in America is heavy cream. The UK equivalent is whipping cream.
  • I have tested Kensington Pride and Honey Gold mangoes. I much prefer Kensington Pride and I recommend them if you can get there. If you are not Australian based, search online for the best mangoes where you live. 
  • You can use vegan cream (I recommend Flora Plant Cream) in this recipe. Choose a brand that has a similar fat content to that specified in the recipe.
  • I daresay you can also use coconut cream with a good fat content - at least 20g per 100g.
