Description
A simple, budget-friendly frozen dessert made with just ripe mangoes and plain yogurt. It is naturally gluten-free, creamy, and requires no churning machine.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe mangoes (or 2 cups frozen unsweetened mango chunks)
- 2 cups plain yogurt (Greek yogurt for thicker texture or regular plain yogurt)
Instructions
- Prepare the mangoes: Peel and cut fresh mangoes into chunks to yield 2 cups. If using frozen mango, let them thaw for 10 minutes.
- Add the mango chunks to a blender.
- Add the plain yogurt to the blender.
- Blend on high speed for 60-90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous. Scrape down sides if necessary.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired (optional), then blend for 10 seconds if adding sweetener.
- Pour the mixture into an airtight container, smoothing the top to remove air bubbles.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Let sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
Notes
Use ripe, fragrant mangoes for natural sweetness. Greek yogurt provides a thicker, creamier texture than regular yogurt. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent ice crystals. Let the yogurt sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before blending if it is too cold to mix smoothly with frozen fruit.
