Ingredients

• 2 cups Ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
• 1 cup Heavy cream or coconut cream
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Warm coconut milk (for saffron infusion)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by preparing the saffron infusion: In a small bowl, add the saffron strands to 2 tablespoons of warm coconut milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to release the color and aroma.

Step 2

2. In a blender, add the peeled and diced ripe mangoes, coconut milk, heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option), granulated sugar, lime juice, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

3. Add the saffron-infused coconut milk to the blender. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

4. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness, if needed, by adding more sugar or lime juice.

Step 5

5. Pour the ice cream mixture into a chilled mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to cool completely.

Step 6

6. If using an ice cream maker, transfer the chilled mixture to the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-25 minutes). Proceed to Step 8.

Step 7

7. If making without an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Place in the freezer and whisk every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and ensure creaminess.

Step 8

8. Once the ice cream has a smooth, scoopable consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 3-4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 9

9. Serve the Mango Coconut Saffron Ice Cream in bowls or cones and garnish with a few saffron strands for an elegant touch. Enjoy!
