Ingredients
- 1 cup mango puree
- 16 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, optional
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup mango puree with the sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl and whisk until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Strain the mango mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous mango particles.
- Add lime juice, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt to the mango mixture while whisking continuously.
- Measure curry powder into a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon warm water, stirring to create a smooth paste.
- Whisk the curry paste directly into the mango base until the mixture takes on a uniform golden-orange hue.
- Taste the base mixture and adjust curry powder by adding quarter-teaspoon increments if stronger spice flavor is desired.
- Ensure the thawed Cool Whip has reached room temperature.
- Pour the mango-curry base into a large mixing bowl.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip using a silicone spatula with broad, smooth strokes to maintain airiness.
- Continue folding until no white streaks remain and the mixture achieves a uniform creamy texture.
- Pour the finished instant mango ice cream with Cool Whip curry into a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, though overnight freezing yields the firmest, most scoopable texture.
- Remove from the freezer 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Notes
Bloom the curry powder with warm water before adding it to the mango base to prevent gritty texture. Press parchment paper directly onto the surface before freezing to help prevent ice crystals.
