MANGO ICECREAM RECIPE | NO EGG | WITHOUT ICE CREAM MAKER

 
When I was speaking to my mom few days back, we were talking about mangoes.
Then i remembered about the mango ice cream she used to make for us when we were kids.This mango ice cream does not require ice cream maker and doesn't use eggs too. It can be made with easily available ingredients at home. We kids with our dear cousins enjoy this during our summer vacation.
Since my kids are on vacation now, i wanted to make this for them. This is the first time i am attempting this after marriage.
But my mom will make it with simple ingredients available at home. She learnt this from my Athai.
I made this with ready made mango pulp. Alternatively you can use fresh ripe mangoes.
Update: I made Mango ice cream with Alphonso mangoes and it tasted awesome.
Check out my fresh strawberry ice cream too.
