4 cups ripe mango puree (fresh or canned)
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

In a large clean bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the chilled mango mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream.

Note

For a vegan version, substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream, chilled and whipped until stiff.

Ensure your mangoes are very ripe for the best sweetness and flavor. If the fruit is tart, you may wish to increase the sugar slightly.

For a smoother texture without ice crystals, stir the ice cream mixture once after 2 hours of freezing to break up any large crystals.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
