Instructions
- Add the chopped @[Mango] flesh, @[Sweetened Condensed Milk], @[Lime Juice], @[Powdered Sugar], and a pinch of @[Salt] to a #[Blender]. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, about ~[60 seconds]. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more @[Powdered Sugar] if needed. Set the @[Mango] purée aside.
- Pour the cold @[Heavy Whipping Cream] and @[Vanilla Extract] into a large #[Mixing Bowl]. Using a #[Hand Mixer] on ^[medium-high speed], whip the cream until stiff peaks form, about ~[3–4 minutes]. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Gently fold the @[Mango] purée into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Use slow, sweeping motions from the bottom of the bowl upward to keep the mixture light and airy. Fold until just combined with no white streaks remaining.
- Pour the @[Mango] cream mixture into a #[Loaf Pan] or freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with the spatula. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming. #[Freezer] for at least ~[4 hours], or overnight for best results.
- When ready to serve, remove the ice cream from the #[Freezer] and let it sit at room temperature for ~[5–10 minutes] to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh @[Mango] slices and a sprinkle of @[Lime Zest] if desired.
