Mango Ice Cream – Custard Base, NO Ice Cream Machine Needed!

When I say you can make ice cream at home with out any ice cream maker, trust me on this. I’ve made it a lot of times already and the output is always good, I mean great! I do have small ice cream machine maker from Krush, but even before I got it, I make ice cream using juts my hand mixer. Few ingredients, simple steps, fresh fruit just what I was hoping for.

Unlike other ice cream recipe, this recipe is custard base. What this means is that we are going to make a custard (egg, milk, sugar) and then we will add fresh Mango puree and whipped cream in it. The custard helps achieve a smooth and creamy ice cream (not icy). If you think the photo looks too good to be true, give it a try and see for yourself.

Homemade Mango Ice Cream

What is the best way to enjoy Summer? What else but with ice cream! Smooth and creamy, no churn homemade ice cream. I had been dying to share this recipe with you for months now. Although ice cream for me is an all-time dessert (even during winter), I still thought that it would be best to share it when the weather starts getting warmer.

Homemade Mango Ice Cream

I had always avoided recipes that calls for whipped cream because anything with whipped cream always taste so good and at the same bad if you are trying to stay on healthy eating side. I already know that once I start eating it, it will be difficult for me to stop. I can seriously finish 1 pint of Strawberry Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream in one sitting, that is how much I love ice cream. There is always an exception to the rule, and that I give to this homemade ice cream.

Homemade Mango Ice Cream

I made an exception for this homemade ice cream. Why so? Well, I checked the ingredients of my favorite Strawberry Haagen-Dazs ice cream. It says cream, strawberries, concentrated skim milk, sugar and egg yolk. These are almost the same ingredients I am using for this homemade ice cream and that made me feel less guilty, not to mention it made me happy too because I am making it at home. My own homemade no churn ice cream. It cannot never get more exciting than that.
