4-Ingredient Mango Ice Cream

For me, summers are all about family trips to India. Of course, there are only a few things we can use to survive the 100+ degree weather for: traveling, family reunions and mangoes. When we land at the airport, we’re greeted with coconut water, mango slices and strangely, a steaming cup of the best coffee you will ever have in your life.

 When we come back, eyes heavy with travel withdrawal, jetlag, and memories, there’s only one cure: homemade mango ice cream. Whether you’re in India or Indiana, this no-fuss treat is perfect for those long-awaited summer evenings out in the backyard.

With the Indianapolis sun slowly emerging, there’s no better time to whip up this 4-ingredient treat!
