Mango Ice Cream from the Captain's Kitchen

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

4 mangoes, peeled and cubed 2 cups heavy whipping cream ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar ¼ cup light corn syrup 4 tablespoons spiced rum ½ teaspoon kosher salt

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by tossing the mangoes, cream, brown sugar, and corn syrup into a blender or food processor. Blend everything on high for about 30 seconds until smooth. Pour the mixture into a sealed container, then stir in the spiced rum and a pinch of salt. Pop it in the fridge and let it chill for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you have the time. When you're ready, pour the cold mixture into your ice cream maker and let it do its thing—usually around 20 minutes. Once it’s nice and creamy, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze it for another 4 hours or until it’s firm enough to scoop. Enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- Chill the mixture well before freezing to get a smoother texture.
- Stir the ice cream every 30 minutes while freezing to prevent ice crystals.

Why you’ll love it

Serving ideas

Serve in small bowls or cones and garnish with fresh mango slices or a sprinkle of toasted coconut. It pairs wonderfully with a drizzle of honey or a few mint leaves for a fresh touch.

Storage & leftovers

Keep the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain its flavor and texture. For best taste, consume within one week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
