Summer is here and it’s time to think of ways to beat the heat. Summer is also the time when we get delicious mangoes in India. As we get good varieties of mangoes this season, I decided to start the summer special with this refreshing homemade mango ice cream. This recipe is from a  free booklet written by the famous cook Chellam, that came along with a magazine. I love this recipe as the ice cream is very creamy and does not have crystals in it. So today we will learn how to prepare homemade mango ice cream following this easy, no cook recipe.

How to make Mango Ice cream (Indian style)

Cook time- Nil
Prep time – under 20 mins

Ingredients needed 

Mango pulp – 1 cup
Milk Powder – 1 cup (full fat / full cream milk powder)
Water – 2 cups
Sugar – 1 cup
Fresh dairy cream – 1 cup
Mango essence – 1 tsp
Yellow food color – 2 drops (I did not use it)
GMS – 1/2 tsp
Milk -1/2 cup
Ice cream stabilizer (CMC) – 1 tsp

Preparation 

Keep refrigerator settings to maximum.

Blend mango pieces in a blender and take 1 cup of mango puree.

Now add stabilizer + sugar mix to the GMS + milk, little by little stirring continuously with a spoon or fork.The mixture will become slightly thick. Keep it aside.

Method 

Mix water with milk powder well without any lumps.

Add mango puree, essence, food color, sugar and cream to the above and mix well.

Then add GMS and stabilizer mix. Mix everything together well and keep it in the freezer.

Use only aluminium container with a lid for freezing the ice cream mix.( this is done to prevent crystal formation and to get a good texture)

Once it is half set, take it out from the freezer and beat it with a wooden ladle (do not use mixie). 

Beat it at least 4 times with a gap of 1 hour for 5 minutes.

After it is set, enjoy delicious mango ice cream.

Note– GMS and ice cream stabilizers are available in all departmental stores. I bought it in Nilgiris,Chennai. GMS (Glyceryl Mono Stearate) and CMC (Carboxy methyl cellulose) are compounds used for stabilizing ice creams. GMS prevents formation of  ice-crystals and gives a smooth texture to the ice cream.These are easily available in big departmental stores and super markets in big cities. Hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Fresh cream is available ready made.You can use homemade cream also. Boil milk, cool it and refrigerate it overnight.The next morning, you will find a thick layer of cream on the top.Collect it and keep it in the freezer. Use it for recipes which need fresh dairy cream.

Meet you all with more interesting recipes and tips for summer.

    Thank you for the fresh cream recipe. I have not thought of it until you mentioned how to make it. Is GMS something like a stabilizer, because I have not heard of it.

    The mango ice cream is stunning! I recently made lavender ice cream with lots of vanilla bean. It was a dreary tan color and I added a touch of food color to achieve a pale lavender. Sometimes there is a time and place to use a bit of food coloring! But your mango ice cream is just intoxicating! My husband adores mango, I will have to suprize him with a bowl of your glorious ice cream!

    Hi padhu
    Thanks for a wonderful recipe again…
    Didn't we use gelatin here? If so even we didn't use agar agar… So what is the substitute for gelatin/agar agar here?
    Regards
