Mango Icecream

Aren't mangoes the best fruit ever! Pineapples come so close but nothing else beats a good juicey ripe mango. There's something about the juice running down your arms as your suck all that flesh off, it gets all over your face, you get stringy bits stuck between your teeth. You name it, its messy but oh so good. We bought a box of R2E2's on the weekend and have gradually got through them. We've had normal mango, sticky mango rice, mango on pancakes, mango smoothies, and now I've got mango ice cream in the freezer. I don't have an icecream maker but would love one that goes on my mix master. I could do dairy free for everyone.....any flavour, anytime!

I started of thinking I would make a nice detox juice. I put some water, kale, cucumber, apple and mango into the blender......I can never get these juices to taste any good! I manage 1 glass of it but the rest was wasted, not even with soda water added to it was it nice. I just cannt seem to get the detox juice thing working for me.

So plan b was make some mango juice/smoothie/whatever. I pulsed a heap of mango up, and went to the fridge to find some thickened cream that needed to be used (our fridge is on the edge of bursting its sides!). So I put that in, a big dash of milk and turned the blender back on. Oh boy, too much cream - "Good one Laura, get yourself out of this mess". Goooooooooogle is my saviour when it comes to my brain not wanting to work. "What to make with mango cream". Of course, mango icecream was the first link.....added a little sprinkle of sugar (because I still have that evil white  powder floating around and using it up.....), and blended it for a few minutes. I've put it into a sillicon loaf tin and put it in the freezer. Fingers crossed it works out!

Insert 10 days......

Well it did.....what a hit!! But now I've bought myself one of those icecream bowl things for my breville mixmaster - cannt wait to use it......!!
