Mango Nice Cream

Name: Mango Nice Cream
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 3 servings, 2.0 l
Cuisine: international
Ingredients: 4.0 Frozen Banana; 430.0 g Frozen Mango Chunks; 1.0 Lime; 5.0 g Fresh Ginger Root

Instructions

1
Squeeze the lime and finely grate the zest. Peel the ginger. Add the lime juice, a portion of the zest and the ginger to the container first.
2
Place the frozen mango and banana pieces on top. If both fruits are fully frozen, let one of them thaw for a few minutes beforehand so the mixture doesn't become too firm. Lock the lid.
3
Start the blender and increase the speed quickly. If the mixture runs empty, push it down towards the blade assembly with the tamper.
4
Blend until a uniform vortex forms and no fruit pieces are visible. Spoon the ice cream into bowls, sprinkle the remaining lime zest over the top and serve immediately.

Chef's Note

Lime gives the mango its final freshness kick – grate the zest directly over the finished ice cream as its aroma fades quickly. Use ginger sparingly; it comes through strongly. If you use both mango and banana from frozen, let one of the two fruits thaw for a few minutes before blending – this keeps the mixture smooth rather than rock solid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh or frozen mango?

Both work. Frozen mango makes the ice cream especially creamy – let it thaw briefly together with the frozen banana so the mixture doesn't become too firm. With fresh mango, add a little more frozen banana to get the right consistency.

Can Mango Nice Cream be made without banana?

Yes. Replace the banana with additional frozen mango (about 300 g) and add a splash of coconut milk to make it creamy. The result is fruitier and slightly less rich.

How strong does the ginger come through?

Ginger makes itself known quickly. A small piece of about 5 g gives a fresh warmth in the background without overpowering the mango. Use less if you prefer a milder flavour.
