Description
This creamy and refreshing mango coconut soft serve is made with just a few ingredients and no ice cream maker. Naturally sweet and tropical, it’s perfect for a light, summery dessert or healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 fresh mango, peeled, sliced, and frozen (about 1 to 1¼ cups frozen mango chunks)
- 2–3 tablespoons sweetened coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream (plus more by the teaspoon if needed)
Instructions
- Peel and slice a ripe mango. Lay the slices on a tray and freeze for at least 4 hours or up to one week.
- Remove mango from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes.
- Add frozen mango chunks and sweetened coconut cream to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream and blend again. Add more cream by the teaspoon if needed.
- Blend for about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Scoop into bowls and serve immediately. Optional: top with shredded coconut or fresh mango.
- For storage, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 week. Let soften for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use very ripe mango for the best sweetness and texture.
- Pre-frozen mango can be used but may have slightly less flavor.
- Add honey or maple syrup if extra sweetness is desired.
- To make it vegan, use coconut milk or a plant-based cream instead of heavy cream.
- Reblend briefly after freezing if the texture becomes too firm.
