I am having so much fun churning up summer recipes and sharing them with you. And, I am particularly excited with this one. I am sure you’ve already guessed why would that be. Yes, I am sharing with you a sugar and dairy free mango ice cream recipe. Mango, the king of fruits, is a favourite with a lot of us. And since summer is a time of ice-creams, popsicles and coolers, I decided to make a healthy and easy ice-cream, so that, we can have it guilt free. And of course as many times as we want 🙂 Not only is my recipe super healthy, but also an extremely quick and easy one. You are not even going to need an ice-cream maker for this super easy sugar and dairy free mango ice-cream. Read on, if you are at the moment, feeling the same excitement as I am.
Mango connection
When we were growing up, summers would be spent with our grandparents in Kolkata. And, as loving as they always were, they spoilt us to death with all summer fruits and more. Mangoes, litchis you name it and we had it! So, you see, I have really fond memories associated with the king of fruits. Moreover, in India, summers are flooded with a wide range of mango varieties – alphonso, langra, badami etc. And my grandma, would whip up so many mango recipes using these, that always left me so amazed. So, this sugar and dairy free mango ice-cream recipe, is my dedication to her. She, of course, did not make it this way, nonetheless, summers always remind me of her.
Quick and easy recipe
Like, I mentioned earlier, this is the most easy mango ice-cream recipe that you may come across. You are free to choose any variety of mangoes for this guilt-free dessert. However, personally, I feel alphonsos work the best. Having said that, let me also tell you, I haven’t used them here. The reason being, I sadly haven’t yet spotted them in London. And when I do, I sure will have another ice-cream batch ready. The variety of mangoes, I have used for my sugar and dairy free mango ice-cream, is the one from Peru. And since, they tend to be a little less sweeter than the Indian mangoes, I have used honey as a sweetener. But, you may skip the sweetener completely, if the fruit that you are using is sweet enough.
Additionally, this is only a three ingredient ice-cream recipe (leaving the honey out). Also, you are not going to need to repeatedly take the ice-cream out of the freezer, churn it, and put it back again. So easy, completely guilt-free and fuss free. This one just keeps getting better!
I so love recipes that are hassle free, and this one being a dessert, is on top of my favourites list! So, I guess, enough said and it is time to hop on to checking the recipe out.
So, here is the sugar and dairy free mango ice-cream recipe for you. Do try it and let me know how you like it.
