This 5-minute Creamy Mango Ice Cream is made with four simple ingredients, is healthy and low in added sugar, and can be made in your Vita-mix or food processor. It’s ready instantly–no freezing time required!
Are your kids out of school yet? Both of mine are on summer break and we are in full-on summer mode over here. You know what that means. Pool days, sibling bickering, and…ice cream!
Ice cream is as much a part of summer as running bare foot through the sprinkler, sand castles on the beach, and barbecue dinners. Did you know you can make your own healthy ice cream at home in about 5 minutes?
Now, let me be clear about one thing. I let my kids have the “real stuff” when it comes to ice cream. I’m not so strict with their food intake that I ban the full-sugar dairy ice cream from the ice cream shoppe. On the other hand, I don’t let our summers be filled with those kinds of treats every day. I try to teach my kids that those are once-in-a-while foods and we reserve them for special days.
The rest of the days? We make our own healthy treats that they seem to enjoy just as much! Who needs to have the full-sugar ice cream everyday when you have a healthy alternative that can satisfy your sweet tooth and ice cream cravings?
This Creamy Mango Ice Cream is so easy to make, it’s ready nearly instantly! You just need four simple (vegan) ingredients and a high-powered blender or food processor. I use my Vitamix for this and it works perfectly and clean up is even easier! I highly recommend the Vitamix blender. 
I hope your summer days are carefree, relaxing, fun, and filled with this healthy creamy mango ice cream!

Vicky says
November 6, 2017 at 6:15 amAre you able to freeze this once you have made it? I would like to put it in ice block moulds
Maryea says
November 6, 2017 at 9:45 amYes, but it gets really hard, so it needs to thaw a few minutes before it is scoopable.
Lori says
April 26, 2017 at 12:43 pmWhat are other things to make ice cream how you do it. Need more recipe please
Laura Williams says

Maryea says
May 13, 2017 at 8:39 amYes, you’ll just need to keep it in the freezer. Enjoy!

July 4, 2017 at 8:24 pmI normally need something chocolatey to satisfy my dessert craving, but this really hit the spot! It was very easy to make, and I divided it into 4 containers to freeze and enjoy later. Tastes even better than (and is for sure healthier than) haagen dazs mango sorbet. Will definitely make again!! Thanks!
Maryea says
July 5, 2017 at 12:55 pmYou’re welcome! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this, Lauren. 🙂
Trish says
July 8, 2017 at 10:31 pmDo you have any suggestions for a substitute for the coconut milk? I don’t care for the coconut flavor. Would cow’s milk work?
Maryea says
July 10, 2017 at 8:51 amIf you use whole cow’s milk it will work. The creaminess comes from the fat, so low-fat milk doesn’t work as well.
Joel says
August 3, 2017 at 8:37 pmThis worked great! My local grocery carries half-cup (well…technically, 250 mL) tetra-bricks of shelf-stable coconut cream, and I used dark brown sugar. “Let’s never buy ice cream again” was my wife’s response after tasting it.
Maryea says
August 3, 2017 at 10:07 pmI love that!! 🙂
Jeff says
November 23, 2017 at 10:13 pmHi
Can you make this using fresh mangoes in an ice cream machine?
Jeff says
November 23, 2017 at 10:15 pmWould this work with fresh mangoes and using an ice cream machine?
Maryea says
November 25, 2017 at 6:59 amI’ve never tried that so I’m not sure! Sorry.

Maryea says
March 2, 2018 at 6:11 amYou may have processed it too much. If that happens, you can put it in a container and freeze it for a few hours!
Tia says
May 15, 2018 at 6:56 pmJust made this using pineapple. It’s delicious. So creamy and yummy.
Maryea says
May 15, 2018 at 10:07 pmWe love it using pineapple also!
Aggy says
September 18, 2018 at 12:58 amToo sweet for my de-sugared palate. Ripe mangoes very sweet on their own, and with the lushness of full fat coconut milk. . .already decadent, yum! Thank you though.

Maryea says
September 18, 2018 at 12:33 pmYou can just leave the extra sweetener out! 🙂
shaz says
September 20, 2018 at 3:18 amIm making this for a food tech at school and am about to try it out tomorrow!
Can’t wait.. healthy, takes 5 minutes.. sounds awesome and delicious!
(the only problem is mangoes arent in season so i have to buy the frozen mango in a bag…)
Maryea says
September 20, 2018 at 12:38 pmLet me know how it goes!
Sarah says
November 21, 2018 at 7:34 pmI just made this tonight as I needed a healthier option of ice cream and I used 1% milk instead of coconut milk and it tasted delicious
