Coconut Mango Ice Cream with Toasted Coconut Ribbons

This no-churn coconut mango ice cream is made with fresh mango purée, whipped coconut cream, sweetened condensed milk, and layers of toasted coconut. Creamy, tropical, and freezer-friendly.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mango purée about 2 ripe mangos, blended smooth
  • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup cold coconut cream thick part from a can of full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • Pinch of salt
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut toasted

Instructions
 

  1. Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Watch it carefully as it can go from golden to burnt quickly. Set aside to cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, mango purée, vanilla, salt, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream and coconut cream together on medium-high speed until soft to medium peaks form. The mixture should be thick and airy but not grainy.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture in 2 to 3 additions using a spatula, stopping as soon as no streaks remain to keep it fluffy.
  5. Pour about one third of the ice cream base into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of the cooled toasted coconut over the surface.
  6. Repeat: add another third of the base, then more toasted coconut. Finish with a final layer of base and a light sprinkle of coconut on top.
  7. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for 6 to 8 hours until firm. Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping.
