Magnificent Mango Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Place mangoes and sugar in blender and process until smooth.
• Add milks, lime juice and coconut rum or vodka to the container and blend until thoroughly combined.
• Adjust sugar to taste, it should be fairly sweet.
• Pour into ice cream freezer and process per manufacturers directions. My Cuisinart takes 30 minutes.
• Place ice cream in a sealable container and put in freezer for at least three hours before serving.
• This is really good with a number of different add-ins. Try any of the following: mini chocolate chips, vanilla chips, sweetened shredded coconut, chopped candied ginger or orange peel.

Steps:

• Mango Puree:
• Peel and cut the mango into pieces. Squeeze as much flesh off as possible. Blend it in the blender or food processor along with the lemon juice. Strain the mango mix into a bowl, so that the stringy bits are eliminated from the puree. You should have about 1 1/4 cups mango puree.
• Gelato base:.
• Whisk egg yolks and sugar till pale and lemony.
• In a medium/heavy saucepan, bring milk and cream to a simmer. Turn off heat and whisk half of the mixture into the yolks.
• Return everything to the sauce pan over a very low heat and keep on stirring it till it thickens.
• Remove from heat and strain it into a large bowl. Let it cool for 5 or 6 minutes and then mix in mango puree.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• 10 mins before processing in the ice cream machine, put the mango custard into the freezer and also put the ice cream dasher into the freezer. (this SHOCKS the mix so that not much air is whipped in).
• Process in your ice cream maker.

Steps:

• Beat egg whites until frothy, then gradually beat in sugar.
• Mix the mango puree with cream, then fold in egg whites.
• Churn and freeze by hand or with an ice-cream maker.
• As a variation, replace the cream with yogurt (you may need a little extra sugar).
• Another variation is to omit the egg whites; replace the mango puree with 1 pound of seeded, peeled papaya and the juice of one lime.
• Puree with one cup sugar, blend in the cream, and churn and freeze.
