Mango and Ginger Ice Cream

As the weather in the UK has started to get slightly (ha, ha) warmer I thought I would start making homemade ice cream. Whenever we go on a family trip my husband Howard and son Ted will normally always get an ice cream. As we haven’t been going on any trips recently due to lock down I thought it would be a good time to start making my own.

We always keep frozen fruit in the freezer and we normally always have frozen mango. My son and I like to snack on it and I like to use it in my cooking too. I find if it’s in the freezer all chopped up I’m more likely to eat it than if it’s in the fruit bowl as a whole fruit. As we love this fruit so much I decided to grab a can of coconut milk and a few other ingredients and turn into a fabulous ice cream.

Mango and Ginger Ice Cream was a delicious way to eat one of our favourite fruits. My husband Howard and son Ted were very pleased when I told them I was making homemade ice cream. Ted was not the biggest fan of this flavour. I think it was the tahini I added to it that put him off. Howard really enjoyed this flavour and so did I. The tahini is optional so if you’re not a fan then please leave it out of the ice cream. However you decide to enjoy this sweet treat, as always, please enjoy.
