Tips
- Use champagne mangoes (Ataulfo) for the creamiest texture and sweetest flavor.
- If you prefer a lower-sugar version, substitute lemon juice for lime and reduce condensed milk by a third, though the texture may be firmer.
- Letting the ice cream sit for a few minutes at room temperature makes scooping much easier.
Serving suggestions
- Serve with fresh mango slices, a drizzle of honey, or alongside a warm chocolate brownie for contrast.
