Going dairy-free doesn’t mean you have to give up ice cream. I’ll show you how easy it is to make homemade vegan mango ice cream in this post.

Mango Vegan Ice Cream Recipe

I originally posted this vegan ice cream recipe last summer, but I’ve updated it based on the heat wave we’ve been having here in California. Because, heat wave means ice cream, right? You know me, though, I had to make a dairy-free version with a healthy twist. I started with fresh mangos (you can use frozen mango chunks, too).

Vegan Ice Cream Ingredients

Yellow mangoes are known to be especially sweet and creamy. While I used fresh mangos in this vegan ice cream, you can use frozen mango chunks too.

Because of their high soluble fiber content, mangoes give an incredibly smooth texture to dairy-free smoothies and ice creams.

So, while you can certainly eat mangoes out of hand for a healthy snack or dessert option (click here to learn how to cut a mango), I thought it would be fun to create an easy four-ingredient mango vegan ice cream recipe for summer.

All you need are mango chunks (fresh or frozen), coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. That’s it!

This is such an easy vegan ice cream recipe that highlights both the sweet natural flavor of the mango, highlighted with vanilla beans scraped from the pod. If you don’t have a fresh vanilla pod, you can also use vanilla extract.

How to Make Dairy-Free Mango Ice Cream

The ingredients for this vegan ice cream recipe just get blended together and then put through an ice cream maker (alternatively, you can use the freeze and stir method to create a creamy texture without an ice cream maker).

Either way, you’ll end up with a healthy vegan ice cream that is perfect for celebrating summer and for a temporary reprieve from the heat.

    HI Carrie,
    Love this recipe. I make mango ice-cream just about the same recipe except I use the organic frozen mango – its hard to find fresh organic ones where I live. But this is such a refreshing, cooling, tasty and healthy ice-cream especially for the summertime heat. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & tweeted!

    I would recommend combining the ingredients in the blender, then chilling after, as blending them will heat them up.
