Ninja Creami Mango Ice Cream

Creamy 4-Ingredient Mango Ice Cream Recipe

This homemade mango ice cream is irresistibly creamy, refreshing, and bursting with the natural sweetness of ripe mangoes. With just four simple ingredients, you can create a delightful frozen treat perfect for warm days!

Ingredients:

Ripe Mangoes: Fresh or frozen mangoes work well for this recipe.
Heavy Whipping Cream: Adds richness and a smooth texture. Half-and-half can be used for a lighter version.
Milk: Soy milk was used in this recipe, but any milk alternative (oat milk, almond milk, or cow’s milk) will work.
Condensed Milk: Provides creaminess and the perfect touch of sweetness.
Optional Sweetener: Adjust sweetness to your preference using monk fruit, honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, stevia, agave, or regular sugar.

Instructions:

Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine peeled and pitted mangoes, heavy whipping cream, milk, condensed milk, and sweetener. Blend until smooth.
Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a pint container, ensuring it does not exceed the max fill line. Freeze for at least 18-24 hours.
Churn the Ice Cream: After freezing, place the container into an ice cream maker (such as a Ninja Creami). Select the “Ice Cream” setting and process the mixture.
Adjust the Texture (if needed): If the ice cream appears crumbly after the first spin, use the “Respin” function until a creamy consistency is achieved.
Serve and Enjoy: Scoop into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes, such as toasted coconut flakes or fresh mango slices.

Customization Options:

Make It High Protein:
- Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
- Mix in ½ cup of cottage cheese for extra creaminess and protein.
- Stir in a tablespoon of collagen powder for added benefits.
Reduce Sugar:
- Replace condensed milk with evaporated milk and a low-calorie sweetener like monk fruit or stevia.
- Decrease the sweetener amount to adjust the sweetness level.

Topping Suggestions:

Fresh mango slices for extra flavor
Toasted coconut flakes for a tropical twist
Chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios for crunch
A drizzle of honey or caramel for added sweetness
Whipped cream or coconut whipped cream for a creamy touch
Granola or crushed graham crackers for a crunchy finish
