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?
Full-fat Greek yoghurt gives the richest, creamiest texture. Lower fat yoghurt will work but may result in a slightly icier consistency. The fat content helps keep the ice cream smooth.
