Ingredients

  • 2 cans 13.5 oz each full-fat coconut milk, chilled in the refrigerator overnight
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe mango peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon coconut cream
  • Optional: shredded coconut for garnish

Instructions

  • Chill the coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight to ensure it's cold and thickened. Dice the mango and set aside.
  • In a blender, combine the chilled coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lime juice, and coconut cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the diced mango to the blender and blend again until the mango is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn the ice cream until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This typically takes about 20-30 minutes.
  • Transfer the churned ice cream to a lidded container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover with the lid. Freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up and achieve a scoopable texture.
  • Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
  • Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
  • Keep any leftovers in the freezer, covered, for up to 2 weeks. If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
