Step 1
Start by tossing the mangoes, cream, brown sugar, and corn syrup into a blender or food processor. Blend everything on high for about 30 seconds until smooth. Pour the mixture into an airtight container, then stir in the spiced rum and a pinch of salt. Pop it in the fridge and let it chill for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you have the time. When you’re ready, pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions—usually around 20 minutes. Once it reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a container with a tight-fitting lid and freeze for about 4 hours, or until it’s firm enough to scoop. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This ice cream is a perfect blend of creamy sweetness and bright tropical flavors. The fresh mango adds a refreshing twist that feels like a mini vacation in every bite. It's a delightful treat that’s both rich and light.
How to serve
Serve this ice cream in chilled bowls or cones for a cool, refreshing dessert. It pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit slices, toasted coconut flakes, or a drizzle of passion fruit syrup for an extra tropical vibe.
Storage & leftovers
Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Keep it at a consistent freezing temperature and let it soften slightly at room temperature before scooping for the best texture.
