Hello, Summer! Yikes! We've been hitting the triple-digits here in the Pacific Northwest and I could not be more thankful for air-conditioners 🙂 Hope you've been keeping cool as well!
My mother-in-law found some mangoes while she was out shopping recently and brought a couple over for me. She knows they are my favorite fruit 🙂 They were perfectly ripe. I could smell them from several feet away. Oh man, they tasted so good as well. Look at the size of that mango!! I needed just one mango to make this batch of ice cream!
I wanted something cold so I decided to make Mango Peach Ice Cream. Both are in season right now, and I think that the flavors of mango and peach complement each other so well.
Remove the skin from the mango and the peaches, then cut them into big chunks (discard the seeds). You're going to need enough fruit to make 2 cups.
I used a Magic Bullet NutriBullet
to make a puree out of the fruit. You can use a regular blender or a food processor as well. Just make sure to blend it really well so that the puree is super smooth.
Mix the puree, heavy cream and sugar in a large bowl, put the mixture in an ice-cream maker, then let it sit in the freezer for a couple of hours.
Would you like to save this?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
It is really that simple!
When serving, garnish with some fresh mint. Not only does it look pretty, it's also delicious with the mango and peach 🙂

Seriously, is it really this easy? I have both mangoes (too many) and peaches sitting on my counter right now. So if I go get a bit of heavy cream, I am all set. Wow - this is going to be one delicious weekend.

Enjoy! 🙂 If you have any leftover mangoes and peaches after making the ice cream, my favorite way to enjoy them is with a splash of evaporated milk. So creamy and delicious! 🙂

Michelle @ Vitamin Sunshine says
Yum, looks so delicious! My mom said its been hitting the 100s in Bend too-- which is rare for July in Bend! Usually, it only gets that hot for a week or so in August. July is typically on the cool side over there 🙂
Yes, ice cream is exactly what you need in that weather. And in Malaysia, ALL THE TIME! 🙂
Char says
Michelle - Yes!!! I will probably be eating a lot of ice cream there 😀
Crystal Pawlowski says
I completely left out the sugar and added a peach! It has a very mild flavor, but very low calorie! Thanks for the idea!
Char says
Hi Crystal! Thanks for giving the recipe a try! I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend! 🙂
Beverly says
hi i can't wait to try this but I noticed that in the ingredients list the first one is : 2 cups mango and peach puree, 1 large mango or 2 small mangoes.
Sorry, this is a bit confusing. can you please explain? how much peach puree?
Char says
Hi Beverly! So sorry for the confusion there. I've modified the text in the recipe so hopefully, it's less confusing now for everyone. - thank you for bringing this to my attention!
For the recipe, you'll just need either one or two mangoes (depending on how large they are), and 2 peaches. After you blend them to a puree, it should yield you approximately 2 cups of puree.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you need any further clarification!
