Alphonso mango ice cream

Ice cream with Alphonso mangoes

This is a summer favourite. As a child I have spent many summers in Pune where my grandparents stayed and to me summer is never complete without the Alphonso mangoes that come from coastal Maharashtra. Sharing a cherished recipe of an ice cream crafted by my mother—born from her intuition, trials and a dash of culinary creativity.

Make sure you use the best quality alphonso mangoes only!

You will need:

1 litre of whole milk

200 gms of fresh cream

Pulp of 3-4 large Alphonso mangoes

Sugar to taste

Preparation

Mix the milk, the cream and the freshly taken out mango pulp and sugar. Make sure you add enough sugar as the sweetness tends to lessen after the ice cream freezes

1. Pour it into a container which goes into the freezer compartment of your refrigerator

2. Once completely frozen remove and pass it through the blender and put it back into the freezer to freeze again

3. The ice cream is ready

4. Garnish with some chopped mango and enjoy it
