Ingredients
For the Mango Shell:
- 2 ripe mangoes (for puree)
- 1/2 cup White chocolate, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon Coconut oil (to smooth the chocolate)
- Orange and yellow food coloring (optional, for gradient effect)
For the Ice Cream Filling:
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1/2 cup Condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Mango puree (from fresh mangoes)
Instructions
1. Make the Mango Ice Cream Filling:
- Puree the Mangoes: In a blender, puree fresh mangoes until smooth. Strain to remove any fibers.
- Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and mango puree until well combined.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into silicone molds (mango-shaped if possible) and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until solid.
2. Make the Mango Shell:
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Add Coconut Oil: Stir in the coconut oil to smoothen the texture.
- Color the Chocolate: Divide the chocolate into two bowls. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring to one bowl and orange food coloring to the other.
- Create the Gradient: Using a brush or spoon, create a gradient effect inside the mango-shaped silicone mold (orange on top, yellow on the bottom).
- Set the Shell: Freeze the mold for 10 minutes to set the shell.
3. Assemble the Mango Ice Cream:
- Insert Popsicle Sticks: Once the ice cream filling is fully frozen, carefully insert a popsicle stick into each mold.
- Unmold and Assemble: Unmold the chocolate shell and gently place the frozen ice cream inside.
- Seal the Gaps: Brush on extra melted chocolate to seal any gaps.
- Freeze Again: Freeze for another 10-15 minutes before serving.
Tips for Success
- Use Ripe Mangoes: Ripe mangoes are sweeter and easier to puree.
- Chill Everything: Make sure the heavy cream and mixing bowl are chilled for better whipping results.
- Smooth Chocolate: Add a bit more coconut oil if the chocolate is too thick for brushing.
- Customize Shapes: If you don’t have mango-shaped molds, use any silicone mold and get creative!
- Add Texture: Mix in small mango chunks or nuts for added texture.
