Mango Coconut Ice cream without Ice Cream Machine

June 4, 2007

Recipe for Mango Coconut Ice cream without ice cream maker

This is my first ever attempt at making Mango Ice cream at home. With Natural Ice Cream’s main outlet a stone’s throw away from home, I really can’t be blamed right? Musk melon, Fresh strawberry and Papaya-Pineapple have been my season’s favourites and Custard Apple Tender coconut are my all time favourites. Their natural fruity ice creams have only 3 ingredients – Milk, Sugar and Fruit pulp / chunks. It can’t get fresher and simpler than this.

For those of you who think you can only make ice cream if you have the machine at home, this recipe is all set to make you happy! Use regular cream instead of coconut milk for a creamy Mango flavour ice cream.

Mango Coconut Ice cream
Instructions
  1. To prepare Mango Coconut Ice Cream, first turn your freezer control to 'quick chill' or lowest temperature one hour before you start with the ingredients.
  2. Take all of the ingredients except chopped mango in a large deep bowl and churn with a hand blender for 10 minutes till frothy. It's good to take some breaks of a few seconds each so as not to overheat the blender's motor.
  3. Put in the mango pieces and blend for another 2 minutes.
  4. You may either turn this mixture into your ice cream maker and follow instructions or pour it into an airtight plastic jar / aluminium tin and freeze for 4-5 hours.
  5. Remove the contents back into the bowl and churn with hand blender for 5 minutes or so, until smooth and creamy.
  6. Freeze this in airtight container for 3 hours and repeat step 5.
  7. After freezing for 3 hours, ice cream should be set and ready. Scoop out into chilled bowls and garnish with mint leaves or cardamom powder or mango slices.
Recipe Notes

Notes:
The coconut flavour happened as a result of laziness. I didn't have the cream on hand to use in the recipe, and since coconut milk is as thick as cream, I decided to give it a try. Coconut and mango both being tropical flavours, blend quite well. If you are a person who loves pinacolada type flavours, you are sure to love this one.

If you do not have a hand blender, by all means use your regular food processor / mixer to beat the frozen icecream.

Adding 1 tablespoon of vodka to the mix prevents the ice cream from getting icicles and keeps it smooth.

    Way to go N! Very innovative substitution of coconut milk for cream – and you’re right, there is no reason it will not go with mangoes. Meeta’s gonna love it!

    That really looks delectable, love the color too. I am all set to try another ice cream flavor with the plastic tub in the freezer getting empty. In Hyd, during the summer there would be this sudden rise of local ice cream makers who would make wonderful ice cream at half the price of the branded ones. It was a weekly ritual at our place to to buy from them. Now all I get is my mother’s commentary while she savors the ice cream 🙁 Its time to ask Meeta for a Birthday treat 🙂 I can’t wait to see this event’s round-up.

    Hi Nandita,First time reader & commenter but will surely be back. I really liked your blog & your recipes look & sound yummy (esp this one, mago icecream at home, yum yum)… if only someone could make them for me, I’m lazy ;)! I am especially happy to have found your blog as a fellow TamBram, many of your Tam recipes are very similar to my mom’s so this will reduce my daily phone calls home to Amma to get the recipes! As I currently live in the US, this should be a big savings! 🙂 While I usually find most of my Indian recipes through Google or Bawarchi, I hadn’t found a site that gives me authentic TamBram cusine. You are now my go-to site. Urmila

    Nandita, glad to connect with you on this beautiful trail. I have made mango gelato before using mango pulp and coconut milk, but your version sounds like a creamier version of mine. And I too am a big fan of Naturals. Love their tender coconut.

  • Another photo from a shoot I did with my neighbour for her saree draping workshop at @ahundredhands last month.
🌼
This saree belonged to my grandma and it is nearly 40 years old. The silk has been washed several several times over the years. It drapes ever so softly and falls beautifully. I don’t even dare to iron this delicate fabric. ⭐️
Draped by my neighbour Janaki in whose hands the fabrics simply flow, a  knot there, a tuck here and a fold there and what you see this - no pins, no petticoat, no nonsense. The cascading back pleats are more dramatic but the front is lovely as well. Swipe to see the front style.
  • {HIRE ME}
Is my salad doing justice to the pretty bowl or is the pretty bowl doing justice to my salad?
.
Mostly all leftovers from yesterday's ZESTY SALAD WORKSHOP goes into a big salad for our lunch today.
.
Now getting to the 'hire me' part-- Since I am back in the workshop groove, if you are a lifestyle /beauty/ health brand or a corporate that wants to conduct healthy cooking / eating / salad making workshops for a group of people, then please email me at saffrontrail@gmail.com - you can also email me from my bio. Preferred location is Bangalore but I am willing to consider traveling to other cities too.

Bringing more Amla goodness to you with this post!
.

Blueberries are on the top of every antioxidant rich foods list. The antioxidant content of a food is measured in Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) units. Amla or Indian gooseberry has an ORAC score of 2,61,500, which is over 50 times that of blueberries. I hope that convinces you to make amla a part of your diet. Here's a simple recipe for Amla- Raita. You can mix this with rice and eat as a simple meal.
.
Amla Raita

Serves 4

4-5 amla 
¼ tsp turmeric

¼ tsp salt

3-4 tbsp coconut

2 green chillies

¼ tsp salt

2 cups yogurt

1 tsp oil

¼ tsp mustard seeds

1 sprig curry leaves

Pressure cook the amla with ½ cup water along with salt and turmeric for 4-5 minutes.

Drain amla and remove seeds. (Drink up any leftover water in cooker or add to dal)  In a mixer jar, grind together cooked amla, coconut, green chillies and salt to a coarse paste.

Add this to yogurt and whisk well.

Heat oil in a small pan. Fry mustard seeds and curry leaves. Once seeds splutter transfer over the raita. 
Do try this during the current amla- season and tag me if you post it here!

  • When I first came across @naina online, I was so blown away by the way she photographed people. Over the years, over bits of conversation, offline and online, our little friendship grew. I have even sent her pictures of shoes on WhatsApp to ask which colour to go with 😂
.
She was in Bangalore over the weekend and we met for coffee and then lunch. It was such a pleasure to model one of her hand painted brooches - check these out at @khaosphilos, these are one of a kind wearable art.

  • If there’s one thing you need to try this season, it is my neighbour Tulsi aunty’s Amla Pickle. As winter comes in, this vitamin C and antioxidant packed condiment will keep you going. It makes a big batch as you can swipe to see in the photos, but what better gift to give family and friends, than a bite of good health? Save this post as the recipe that I shared in my column in @livemintlounge is here for you to use.
This is a unique recipe coming to you from a pickle expert and I have tried to share every bit of info that Aunty shared with us while teaching us last year. If you try it, tag me because I’d love to see you make this! #saffrontrail #stcooks

  • Today’s a special day and I wore my maternal grandmother’s saree - one of the few that I selected from her wardrobe after she passed away, at the insistence of my aunt. I wear these so often. They are soft, drape easily and just feel good to wear. Doesn’t that make a saree the best garment, the fact that it can be passed down to your next generations?
