Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different fruit?
Surely. This recipe is very versatile. Try substituting the mango pulp with equal amounts of strawberry, raspberry, passionfruit or other fruit purees. Just adjust the sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your chosen fruit.
Why do I need to use gelatin?
The gelatin helps give the ice cream a thick, smooth, creamy texture by binding up some of the water. It prevents ice crystals from forming so you get that luxuriously rich, scoopable consistency.
My ice cream turned out icy, what went wrong?
A few things could cause iciness: undissolved gelatin, insufficiently chilled custard base before churning, or opening the freezer too often during the freezing process. Be sure to follow the steps carefully.
How can I make this dairy-free?
For a dairy-free version, you can use full-fat coconut milk instead of the regular milk and cream. The rich coconut flavor pairs beautifully with mango. You may need to adjust the sweetener a bit.
Can I use an ice cream maker?
Without a doubt. An ice cream maker will give you faster, more consistent results. merely prepare the custard base, chill it fully, then churn according to your machine’s instructions before freezing.
