Mango Ice Cream with Caramelized Mango

By Roy Finamore from Tasty: Get Great Food on the Table Every DayYou could make this creamy, eggless, Philadelphia-style ice cream without the caramelized mango, but it’s so much better with.

Makes: About 1 quart

Ingredients

For the caramelized mango:
1/3 cup sugar
1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into large dice

For the ice cream:
2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped
Grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
Pinch of coarse salt
2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

For the caramelized mango:
Pour the sugar into a heavy medium skillet. Cook over medium heat, swirling the sugar around in the pan often, until it is dark amber. Add the diced mango. The caramel will sputter and seize up. Don’t worry. Cook, stirring, just until the caramel dissolves. Scrape the mango into a bowl, cover, and chill thoroughly.

For the ice cream:
Process the mangoes in a food processor until you’ve made a smooth purée. Add the lime zest and juice, sugar, molasses, and salt. Process for a minute or so to dissolve the sugar. Scrape the purée out into a pitcher or bowl, whisk in the cream, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Freeze the ice cream base according to the instructions for your ice cream maker. When it’s just about frozen, add the caramelized mango. Chances are the ice cream will melt some; just keep freezing it until it’s firm again. Transfer to a container with a lid, and let the ice cream cure in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.
