Mango icecream

Summer is here!!! Mangoes are the ideal treat for summer. Oh wait, icecream is too! Hmmm..how about a mango icecream so you get best of both the worlds? This recipe is inspired by the well known website www.showmethecurry.com , but with a slight twist. It's a very simple recipe.

Ingredients:

Ripe mango - 2 (or you can use a can of mango puree)
Non-fat sweetened condensed milk - 1 14oz can
Whipped cream - 1 box (I used cool whip, bring it close to room temperature before using in the recipe)
Cardamom powder - about 2 tsp
Saffron - a few strands
Pieces of mango - a few
Cashewnuts/almonds/pistachio - 2 tbsp (optional)

The mixture looks like this before going into the freezer.

Procedure:

• Squeeze out the pulp from the mangoes and keep it aside. Skip this step if you are using mango puree.
• Puree the pulp in a mixture so it gets a uniform texture.
• In a big bowl, mix in the mango puree (from previous steps or the canned mango puree), condensed milk and whipped cream.
• Give it a good mix so all three ingredients have blended well.
• Throw in the cardamom powder and the saffron. Mix well.
• Pour the mixture into a container with a lid and put it in the freezer for about an hour.
• After an hour, mix the icecream lightly and add the mango pieces. You can also add in the nuts at this time.
• Put it back in the freezer for a couple hours more.
• Your mango icecream is ready to be served.
