Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 1 very ripe banana sliced and frozen
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk Start with 1/3 cup and add as needed.
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup Optional depending on mango sweetness.
  • a pinch of salt Tiny but important.
  • as needed optional toppings Squeeze of lime, toasted coconut, chopped mango.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Add frozen mango and frozen banana to a blender or food processor.
  • Pour in 1/3 cup coconut milk and a pinch of salt.
  • Blend, stopping to scrape down the sides, adding more coconut milk until it turns thick and creamy.
  • Taste it. Add honey or maple syrup only if it needs additional sweetness.
  • Eat right away for soft serve vibes, or freeze for 30 to 60 minutes for a firmer scoop.

Notes

The banana helps create creaminess without dairy. If you need a banana-free version, try using frozen coconut milk ice cubes or thick coconut cream to help blend smoothly.
