Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

1 cup coconut milk (or your preferred milk)

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Toasted coconut flakes, for topping (optional)

Chopped macadamia nuts, for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Puree: In a blender, place the diced mangoes along with the lime juice. Blend on high speed until smooth. If you enjoy some texture, feel free to leave a few small chunks. Once blended, set the mango puree aside.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

      Combine: Gently fold the prepared mango puree into the cream mixture using a spatula. Stir until completely blended, and taste the mixture to adjust sweetness as needed.

        Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial as it helps the mixture become very cold, which is important for the freezing process.

          Churn: After chilling, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to your machine’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until you achieve a soft-serve consistency.

            Freeze: Once churned, transfer the ice cream into an airtight container. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop.

              Serve: Using a scoop, dish out the chilled ice cream into bowls or decorative glasses. If desired, drizzle additional mango puree over the top. Enhance your presentation by sprinkling with toasted coconut flakes and chopped macadamia nuts. Finish with a garnish of fresh mint leaves for an extra touch.

                Enjoy: Indulge in your refreshing Tropical Mango Dream Sundae and savor the delightful tropical flavors!
