Instructions
-
1Blend everything — add frozen mango, coconut milk, chia seeds, and honey to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, thick, and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
-
2Taste and adjust — try the mixture. If your mango is very ripe and sweet, you may not need all the honey. Blend again after adjusting.
-
3Pour and freeze — transfer to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and freeze for 3–4 hours until firm throughout.
-
4Rest before scooping — remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. This makes scooping infinitely easier and gives a creamier texture.
-
5Scoop and serve! Top with fresh mango chunks, toasted coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey. Try not to finish the whole batch in one sitting! 🥭
Pro Tips for Perfect Mango Ice Cream
- 🥭Always use frozen mango — fresh mango gives a slushy result. Frozen gives a thick, scoopable ice cream texture every time.
- 🥥Full-fat coconut milk only — light coconut milk is too watery. The natural fat is what creates that creamy, indulgent texture.
- ⏰Let it sit before scooping — 5 minutes out of the freezer transforms it from rock-solid to perfectly scoopable.
- 🍯Adjust honey to taste — very ripe mango is naturally sweet. Start with 1 tbsp and add more only if needed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?
You can, but freeze it first for at least 2 hours. Fresh mango straight from the fridge won't give the thick, scoopable texture — you need it frozen solid.
Can I make this vegan?
Yes! Simply swap honey for maple syrup or agave nectar. The rest of the recipe is already 100% plant-based.
Do the chia seeds need to soak first?
No — blend them straight in. They'll blend down and thicken the mixture, giving a richer texture and adding fibre and omega-3s at the same time.
How long does it keep in the freezer?
Up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. After that it can get icy. For best texture, enjoy within the first week.
