Mango Ice Cream

  • 1.5 cups of mango puree (about 2 medium sized mangoes)

  • 2/3 cup caster sugar

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

  • 2/3 cup cream

  • 1/3 cup milk

Step 1 - Place all ingredients except for cream in a blender jug and whizz until smooth. Stir in cream (although you don't have to do this too well if you're using an ice cream maker as the churning will mix the cream in).

Step 2 - Place in an ice cream maker and churn for about 25 minutes. It will be of a soft serve consistency which is perfect for what you want.
