MANGO NICE CREAM TIME.

When fresh mangos are in abundance, stock up the freezer with mango cheeks for cultured, mango nice-cream, anytime! It’s dairy free, sugar free, vegan, paleo, SCD and GAPS. It couldn’t be easier; and no ice-cream maker is required.

Frozen mango cheeks whizzed up with homemade coconut yogurt instantly becomes delicious fruit based nice-cream perfection in seconds. It's smooth, creamy and naturally, sweet. It’s the ideal summer dessert or after school treat. 

Cultured mango and coconut fruit ice-cream is a health treat that everyone will love. With homemade coconut yogurt, this healthy mango ice-cream is jam packed with probiotic goodness too. What a heavenly way to get good gut loving bacteria into your belly! In fact, any of our yogurt recipes could be whipped up into mango ice-cream.  Why not try our dairy varieties - cow milkraw milkgoat milk or our superfood almond yogurt.

Depending on the sweetness of the cheeks (and your own sweet tooth of course) you may want to add a little honey. 

Enjoy it in a cone or bowl topped with toasted coconut chips. The combination of textures is amazing! 

This ice cream is at it’s very best as soon as it’s made - enjoy it straight away (and before it melts). Of course, you can freeze it for another time or spoon it later as a smoothie.
