Can I use light coconut milk for this recipe?

Yes, you can, but it will not be as rich and creamy.

Can I use almond milk instead of coconut milk for this homemade ice cream?

It's not ideal to use almond milk for this recipe because there is not enough fat in almond milk. If you want a lighter ice cream recipe, you can use light coconut milk, though.

Can I sweeten this mango ice cream with dates instead of maple syrup?

Yes, you can. Try 5 pitted Medjool dates instead of maple syrup.

Can I use mango puree in this recipe?

I think you could, but I have not tested using mango puree in this recipe.

Can I use regular milk in this recipe?

I'm not sure! I follow a dairy-free diet so I have only made dairy-free ice creams from scratch. See my tips for starting a gluten-free and dairy-free diet .

Notes

Vegan ice cream tends to freeze very hard. So, if it is the freezer for more than a few hours, you might need to let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften before serving.
*If you don’t have an ice cream maker, then you can use the freezer method instead. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe bowl and place the bowl in the freezer. Use a large fork to stir the mixture about 4 separate times, every 45 minutes. After about four hours, your homemade ice cream should be ready to serve.
