Description
Creamy mango ice cream swirled with a hint of Baileys (optional). A simple dessert recipe perfect for a warm day.
Ingredients
Units
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 cups (237 ml) milk
- 1 cups (237 ml) sugar
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) baileys
- 4 slices brown bread crumbs
- 1.25 cups (296 ml) whipping cream
- 1 cups (237 ml) greek yogurt
- puree of one mango
Instructions
- In a deep saucepan, combine sugar and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks until pale.
- Add one ladle-full of the milk mixture at a time to the egg yolks, whisking until fully incorporated. Temper the eggs by gradually bringing them to the temperature of the warm milk to prevent scrambling. Repeat until all the milk mixture is incorporated.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir until it thickens into a custard that coats the back of a wooden spoon. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Once the mixture cools slightly, add bread and Baileys. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Whip the cream lightly until soft peaks form.
- Once the custard mixture is cooled, mix in the cream and yogurt. Blend with a hand-held blender until smooth. If not making mango swirls, mix in the mango puree at this stage.
- Pour the mixture into a tin, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for 1 hour or overnight if not making swirls.
- To make mango swirls: Remove the ice cream from the freezer while still liquid. Add a tablespoon of mango puree randomly. Swirl with a wooden skewer to create an abstract pattern, or layer the ice cream mixture and mango puree and swirl after pouring the last layer.
- Freeze for 8 hours or overnight, covered with plastic wrap.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat Greek yogurt and heavy cream.
- If omitting Baileys, add 1/4 cup more milk for consistency.
- To prevent ice crystals, churn the ice cream in an ice cream maker for optimal texture.
