Prep Time

10 minutes

Freeze Time

1–2 hours (optional for firmer texture)

Total Time

10 minutes to 2 hours 10 minutes

Servings

4–6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

3 cups frozen mango chunks

2 frozen bananas, sliced before freezing

¾ cup full-fat coconut milk

Instructions

Prepare the Fruit

If not already frozen, peel and chop the mangoes into chunks.

Slice bananas and freeze until completely solid.

Using frozen fruit is essential for achieving a thick and creamy texture.

Blend the Ingredients

Add frozen mango chunks, frozen bananas, and coconut milk to a food processor or high-speed blender.

Blend until the mixture starts to come together.

Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides.

Continue blending until smooth, thick, and creamy.

If needed, add an extra tablespoon or two of coconut milk to help blending.

Serve Soft-Serve Style

For a soft-serve consistency, serve immediately after blending.

Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy.

Freeze for Scoopable Ice Cream

Transfer the blended mixture to a freezer-safe container.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Freeze for 1–2 hours for a firmer, scoopable texture.

Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping if frozen longer.

Serve

Scoop into bowls, cones, or dessert cups.

Garnish with fresh mango, toasted coconut, or chopped nuts if desired.

Tips

Use Fully Ripe Mangoes

Sweet, ripe mangoes provide the best natural flavor and eliminate the need for added sugar.

Freeze Fruit Completely

Partially frozen fruit can create a thinner texture rather than creamy ice cream.

Choose Full-Fat Coconut Milk

Full-fat coconut milk produces a richer and creamier result than light coconut milk.

Blend Slowly at First

Starting at a lower speed helps break down frozen fruit without overworking the blender.

Scrape the Bowl Frequently

This ensures a smooth, evenly blended texture.

Avoid Adding Too Much Liquid

Too much coconut milk can make the mixture icy rather than creamy.

Serve Immediately for Soft Serve

Freshly blended ice cream has the smoothest and creamiest consistency.

Use a Chilled Container

A cold container helps maintain texture when freezing.

Store Properly

Keep ice cream in an airtight freezer-safe container to prevent freezer burn.

Let It Soften Before Scooping

A few minutes at room temperature makes scooping easier.

Variations
