Juicy, sweet mango and rich creamy coconut give this dairy-free ice cream an intense flavor and perfect scoopable consistency.
Similar to my vegan chocolate ice cream and passion fruit ice cream recipes, no ice cream machine is needed!

Ingredient Notes
Here's everything you need to make this vegan mango ice cream recipe. Find the complete list of ingredients, quantities, and instructions in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Mango Pulp: If using fresh mangoes, blend the flesh into a smooth pulp using a food processor or high-speed blender. If you're making this outside of mango season, it's better to use canned. Alphonso or Kesar Mango pulp is best.
- Coconut Whipping Cream: For coconut products, my favorite brand to use is Nature's Charm. If you can't get your hands on coconut whipping cream, full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream will do just fine. Either way, make sure you refrigerate the cans of coconut milk overnight so that the liquid separates from the fat. You'll just want to use the coconut fat from the top of the can. Do not use the liquid from the bottom of the can, as this will make your ice cream icy!
- Vegan Condensed Milk: Gives the ice cream a really creamy texture while also acting as a sweetener. Sweetened condensed milk does not freeze solid due to its high sugar content, making it perfectly scoopable and ideal for no-churn ice cream.

Scoop the coconut cream into a large mixing bowl and whip it with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes smooth, light, and creamy.
Pour in the sweetened condensed coconut milk and continue whisking for another minute, until fully combined and silky smooth.
Gradually pour the mango puree into the ice cream mixture, adding it in half-cup increments. Whisk well after each addition to ensure it's fully blended and smooth.
Pour the mango ice cream into a loaf pan and smooth the top. Swirl in extra mango purée for added flavor, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4 hours.
💭 Expert tips
Use ripe mangoes or Alphonso mango pulp for the best flavor. If using fresh mangoes, blend the chunks into a smooth puree.
Refrigerate your cans of coconut cream overnight. I like to keep a few chilled in the fridge at all times, so I’m always ready to start recipes without any last-minute prep.
Let your ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping. This helps soften it slightly, making it easier to serve without losing its creamy texture.
Use a hot ice cream scoop to get perfect ice cream scoops! Just fill a heat-proof jug with boiling water and let the scoop sit in it for a few minutes before scooping. Dip the scoop in the hot water between each scoop.
💬 Customizing this recipe
Yes, you can add the ice cream mixer to your ice cream machine and churn until thick. It may take a little less time to churn than usual, as the mixture is already quite thick.
If you can find a vegan whipping cream, like soy or oat, that might work, though I haven’t tested it myself. You can also swap sweetened condensed oat milk for the condensed coconut milk as an alternative
If your ice cream has ice crystals, it’s likely due to the high water content in the mangoes used. To fix this, try adding the ice cream to a blender and blending it until smooth. Also, make sure you use ripe, sweet mangoes. Otherwise, the flavor won’t be strong enough to stand out.
