How to Make No Churn Mango Ice Cream
Here’s a simple step-by-step overview of how to make this no churn ice cream. For more detailed instructions, refer to the recipe card below.
- Make the mango puree. Using a high-powered blender, blend the mangos until smooth. Transfer the puree to a saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat until reduced by half. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Make the ice cream. Beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, and whisk together the chilled mango puree, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Fold the mango mixture into the whipped cream. Cover with a film of plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours.
- Pro Tip: For extra fluffy ice cream, beat the ice cream with a mixer until light and fluffy halfway through the chill time.
Tips for the Best Ice Cream
Do you strive for ice cream perfection? Me too. That’s why I put together a few tips and tricks that will help you create the best mango ice cream possible.
- Don’t overcook the mango puree. Cook the mango puree on medium-low heat and only until it has reduced by half. Cooking at a higher temperature or for too long could burn it, giving the ice cream an unpleasant taste. Overcooking and/or burning can also negatively affect the texture of the final product.
- Cold heavy whipping cream. The whipped cream’s volume gives this ice cream a wonderful lightness. Start off with cold heavy whipping cream to get the most volume possible.
- Don’t over-whip. Over-whipping the whipped cream will cause it to go from light and fluffy whipped cream to butter very quickly. So keep an eye and only whip until stiff peaks form.
- Fold gently. When folding the mango mixture into the whipped cream, do so gently so as not to knock the volume out of the whipped cream.
- Cover the ice cream. It is important to cover the ice cream with a film of plastic wrap before chilling (and later on for optimal storage). This will prevent the ice cream from crystalizing on the top.
How to Store Homemade Ice Cream
- Store your homemade ice cream in an airtight freezer-safe container or in a loaf pan tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 weeks.
- If you’d like, you can line the container with parchment paper to keep the ice cream from sticking.
- Be sure to cover the top of the ice cream with a layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent crystals from forming.

No Churn Mango Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 3 cups cubed mangos
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the mango puree. Blend the mangoes in a blender until smooth. Then transfer them to a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until reduced by half, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and place it in the refrigerator to cool.
- Make the ice cream. Beat the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peeks form. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cooled mango puree, the sweetened condensed milk, and the vanilla extract. Gently fold the mango mixture into the whipped heavy cream until combined.
- Chill. Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth it out with a rubber spatula, cover it with a film of plastic wrap, and seal the container. Freeze for 8 hours.
- Whip (optional). You can allow the ice cream to chill for 8 hours OR, for extra fluffy ice cream, transfer it to the bowl of a stand mixer after 4 hours in the freezer. Beat on medium-high speed for 1 to 2 minutes or until lightened in color and fluffy. Return the ice cream to the container, smooth it out with a rubber spatula, cover it in a film of plastic wrap, seal the container, and chill in the freezer for 4 more hours.
Notes
- Avoid overcooking the mango puree and ensure it’s reduced by half on medium-low heat.
- Cold heavy whipping cream should be used for lighter ice cream.
- Don’t overwhip the cream to avoid turning it into butter.
- Fold the mango into the cream gently to maintain volume.
- Cover ice cream with plastic wrap before chilling to prevent crystallization.
- Keep your homemade ice cream in a sealable container suitable for the freezer. It should stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
