Mango Ice Cream

With the crazy weather today, a cool dessert might do the trick to cool down the soul.  This week, I did Mango Ice Cream.  Making ice cream is not as easy as it looks.  I remember when I was a kid, I would try to do my own popsicle, by making a cordial drink and deep freeze it with a stick in it.

Anyway, this is how the big boys do ice cream.

Mango Ice Cream

Ingredients:

Ice Cream:

• 4 egg yolks
• 2/3 cup Icing Sugar
• 2 cups Mango Puree*
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1/2 cup Coconut Cream
• 1/2 cup Whipped Cream / Heavy Cream

Mango Puree: *If you can't buy it off the shelf

• 3 Mangoes, seeded, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1 tablespoon Icing Sugar

Steps:
Mango Puree:

1. Once you have seeded, peeled, and sliced the Mangoes, blend the Lemon Juice and Icing Sugar with it until smooth.
2. Taste the mixture.  If it is not as sweet as you prefer, you may add a little more Icing Sugar.
3. Add water a tablespoon at a time until mixture puree smoothly. 

Note:

1. If you chose Indian Mangoes or any Mangoes that are known to be sweet naturally, you may cut down on the Icing Sugar.
2. Puree are supposed to be thick.

Ice Cream:

1. Boil the water in your pan under low heat.  Place the Egg Yolks and Icing Sugar into a bowl.  Place that bowl into the pan.
2. Beat the eggs until thick and creamy.  Remove from heat and continue beating for another minute longer or until cool.

3. Place the Mango Puree, Lemon Juice, Coconut Cream, and Whipped / Heavy Cream into a large bowl.  Mix it well.
4. Gently fold in the eggs into the mixture.

5. Pour the mixture into a steel plate or tin with Aluminum Foil.  Place it into the freezer for approx. 3 hours or the mixture is almost frozen.
6. Transfer into a mixing bowl and beat it under fast speed until smooth.
7. Place the mixture into a container to store for overnight.
8. You may scoop and serve.

Good luck and Enjoy :)
