Easy Mango Frozen Yogurt Recipe (2024)

Jump to Recipe

This Easy Mango Frozen Yogurt recipe has a rich, creamy texture and a bright fruity flavor. It whips up easily in a high-speed blender for a healthy frozen treat to satisfy your ice cream cravings.

If you read my other blog (An Edible Mosaic), you may already know that I am a sucker for mangoes.

Alphonso mangoes in particular have my heart. It's a love affair that I picked up while living in Kuwait where my niece and I would make Mango Soft Serve with them. However, they’re next to impossible to find here in DC!

I’ve settled for what I consider to be the next best thing, Ataulfo or Champagne mangoes, which are also pretty fabulous.

This rich and creamy frozen treat is a play on the flavors of one of my favorite drinks, the Mango Lassi. It has a bright, fruity flavor that's a nice balanced sweet/tart flavor.

Tips for Making Mango Frozen Yogurt

  • Instead of flash freezing fresh mango, you can use store-bought frozen mango chunks.
  • If you like your frozen yogurt soft-serve style, enjoy it right after blending.
  • Or if you prefer firmer ice cream-style consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe dish. Cover and freeze for 2 hours.

Print Recipe

Description

This Easy Mango Frozen Yogurt Recipe has a rich, creamy texture and a bright fruity flavor. It whips up easily in a high-speed blender for a healthy frozen treat to satisfy your ice cream cravings.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 cups chopped fresh ripe mangoes (from about 4 mangoes; look for Champagne/Ataulfo mangoes or Alphonso mangoes)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup plain unsweetened yogurt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 pinch sea salt

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the chopped mango out in an even layer. Freeze 2 hours (or overnight).
  2. Add the frozen mango and all remaining ingredients to a high-speed blender and process until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, tamping down as necessary.
  3. For soft serve-style frozen yogurt, serve immediately.
  4. For a firmer ice cream-style consistency, pour the mango mixture into a freezer-safe dish. Cover and freeze 2 hours or longer (if you freeze 8 hours or more, you may want to let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving).

Notes

  • Using a Regular Blender (Instead of High-Speed Blender): I haven’t tried this using a regular blender (or food processor) so I don’t know for sure how well it would work
  • To keep it paleo, use canned unsweetened full-fat coconut milk instead of yogurt.
  • For the vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and canned unsweetened full-fat coconut milk instead of yogurt.
  • Instead of flash freezing fresh mango, you can use store-bought frozen mango chunks.
