If you have seen me at the supermarket or fruit stalls lately you will see my stockpiling mangoes. They have to be my favourite fruit and the best bit of Summer. I am always sad when summer ends and along with the mangoes, so does the sunshine and beach days!
I look like a mango hoarder at the moment.
My freezer is chock-a-block full and I keep eyeing them off at the shops and putting more in my trolley. I love mango in my green smoothies and even making ice cream. Yes ice cream. Sounds difficult doesn't it? Well believe me its not, no fancy ice cream maker or gadgets required for this yummy recipe. Just a food processor and some icy pole molds. I picked mine up from Kmart for $2 and it holds six icy poles- win!
So here it is:
What you need:
++ approx 500g of chopped and frozen mango
++ a tablespoon of honey or your sweetener of choice. Agave syrup or maple syrup would work fine. Adjust the amount to more if you are a sweet tooth.
++ 150g of plain natural yoghurt.
What to do:
++ Combine all ingredients in the food processor and whizz until blended well. Pour into icy pole molds or a freezer safe container. Place in freezer for approx 30mins and then Enjoy!
I have made batches and stored them in the freezer for the hot afternoons when you feel like something refreshing - it has been so hot for Autumn here on the Gold Coast, we have been having 38 degree heatwaves!!
It is better than a Weisbar and so easy to make! Now don't walk, run and get yourself some mangoes - this is one recipe you will want to make and the ice cream wont last long!

Yes, I buy all the mangoes and then some more. We eat them like there is no tomorrow but if I can save some I like to dehydrate them and freeze them for all sorts of yummy goodness.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about looking into a dehydrater - they seem like a good idea:) so many options with mangoes x
DeleteOh the mango maniacs in my house will go wild over these. I really need to get some of those ice block moulds. I will have to check K Mart out. I'll definitely be making this recipe. Thanks! #teamIBOT
