Simple Mango Ice Cream

I and my kids love to eat Ice-Cream… and we all 3 can enjoy Ice-Cream all through the year☺.  My daughter, Ria loves to eat Ice Candy & Ice Gola… Since she has a Tonsillitis problem, the day she eats Ice Cream she would fall sick the next day☹.  When I took Ria to Dr. Khade, I told him the problem and he said, just give her normal water as soon as she eats the Ice Cream to avoid the problem and that’s what I do these days.  He also said I could give her Softy Ice Cream instead.

I avoid giving her Ice Cream during the school days… now that she has vacation, I had promised her that I would make  Ice Cream at home for her.   I kept my promise and did make milk shakes, Malai & Chocolate Kulfi and Mango Ice-Cream for her during this vacation.

I remember, when I was carrying Ria, I had troubled my husband late in the night one day saying that I had a craving to eat Ice-Cream... Rajesh asked me if I could wait till the next day… but looking at my face… he said anything for you darling☺ and drove me down to Natural’s Ice Cream Parlor and I had large scoop of Butterscotch Ice Cream.  I guess Ria is also like me… ☺

Recently, at office one of our colleague, Rahul Pohekar treated us all with Ice Cream.  I was having a bad throat that day.  He jokingly said, Prema is not well, let us have Ice Cream party some other day… I said what come may, let’s go ahead and enjoy the Ice Cream… We all drove down to Sus Road after lunch and had Ice Cream of our choice… I have been coughing since the time I had the Ice Cream..

Next week is my turn to treat all of them… hope to get well soon and enjoy the next flavor of Ice Cream… LOL ☺

I was browsing through the net and I found a very simple recipe of Mango Ice Cream. Fortunately I had Alphonso Mangoes at home and I made this Ice Cream on the weekend.   

The preparation for making the Ice cream started early morning.  Due to the heavy rains, there was no electricity also for 2 to 3 hours on that day☹.  Finally by evening the Ice cream was ready.  I didn’t expect the Mango Ice-cream to taste so great. It was beyond my expectations. Probably the ingredients and flavors I used combined well with Mango.

This ice cream will refresh, rejuvenate you and bring you back to your old memories. I am dedicating this Mango Ice-cream to Ria

It’s easy to make this at home. So when you've got quite a few mangoes and you're not sure how to get through them all turn them into this fabulous tasting, melt-in-your-mouth ice cream!

Let’s take a quick look at the ingredients and the method to make this Divine Dessert!
