Tips & Tricks for Vegan Mango Ice Cream
Food Processor
I recommend using a food processor to make this ice cream. You can also try using a high powered blender, but it has to be good quality. I prefer using a food processor because it mixes your ingredients to create that ultra creamy ice cream texture!
Stir Frequently
When you are cooking, make sure to stir the mango mixture frequently. Because this mixture has a lot of sugar, it will burn if you let it sit without stirring.
Freezer Container
You can buy special containers for no-churn ice cream. Or you can just use a regular loaf pan! Just cover the pan with two layers of aluminum foil to keep it from getting freezer burned.
Variations to Vegan Mango Ice Cream
Mix-Ins
Consider mixing in some unsweetened coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or even mini pieces of white chocolate! Just add the mix-ins to your ice cream right before you pour the mixture into your freezer container.
Replace Sugar
If you don't want to use organic sugar, you can use agave or maple syrup instead. Either option will still sweeten the ice cream without using classic sugar. No matter what kind of sweetener you use, you will still cook your ice cream the same.
Fresh vs Frozen
You can use fresh or frozen mango for this recipe. You can choose which kind of mango you want to use—this ice cream recipe will work either way!
Other Fruit
Try mixing in some raspberries, strawberries, or other fruit for added flavor. I love a good mango kiwi ice cream!
Vegan Mango Ice Cream FAQs
How long does it take for this ice cream to freeze?
You ice cream will take around 4-6 hours to completely freeze. Or, if you can, just make it the night before you want to eat it! Your ice cream will have a softer texture when you pour it into the pan, but it will firm up in the freezer.
Why is my ice cream hard to scoop?
No-churn ice cream can be harder to scoop than regular ice cream. When you want to eat some no-churn, let it sit on the counter for 5–10 minutes first. This will soften the ice cream enough to make scooping easier.
Alternatively, you can soak your ice cream scoop in really hot water. Then let the excess water drip off and scoop your ice cream!
How long can I store this vegan ice cream?
You can store your ice cream in the freezer for up to 2–3 months. This ice cream is best eaten sooner than later, as ice crystals can begin to form and alter the flavor. You need to keep your ice cream in a really airtight container to prevent too many ice crystals.
