Mango is always one of my favourite tropical fruits. I bought some mangoes when they were in season at a very cheap price, come to a dollar a piece and they were very sweet. Since the weather is so hot and humid, this homemade ice cream just came on the right time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an ice cream maker for mango yoghurt ice cream?
Not necessarily. You can freeze the mixture in a container and stir it every 30 to 45 minutes until set. An ice cream maker will give a smoother result, but the manual method works fine.
Should I use fresh or canned mango?
Fresh ripe mangoes give the best flavor and natural sweetness. Canned mango in juice (not syrup) is a convenient alternative. Frozen mango chunks also work well once thawed and blended.
What type of yoghurt produces the creamiest result?
This uses mango-flavored yoghurt rather than plain or Greek yoghurt, which is what gives the ice cream its distinct mango taste and creamy texture along with the whipped cream.
Hi Ann, does the yoghurt keep it creamy or does it set hard? Planning to make it this weekend.
It sets firmer than a custard base does Dave. Pull it out ten minutes before you want it and it comes back to scoopable.
