FAQs & troubleshooting
Can I make a larger batch?
You can double the ingredients to make a larger batch of mango sticky rice ice cream.
My ice cream has ice crystals.
It's possible the ice cream melted too much before freezing, or your churning container wasn't cold enough.
Tip: Place the container that you plan to store the ice cream in into the freezer to chill beforehand.
Ensure that your churning container is frozen solid (a minimum of 8 hours or longer).
Can I make it vegan?
Use a coconut cream and coconut milk or plant-based milk to make it vegan.

This looks so incredibly creamy and delicious! I adore mango (and ice cream, of course), so I know I would love this. Definitely need two (or three) scoops for sure. π Perfect for the upcoming summer season!

Shannon
Hi, This turned out great! However, I think in your instructions, the steps are repeated from 1-2 and 3-6. I wanted to confirm if it is only meant to be blended once and not twice. Thanks!
Michelle
Hi Shannon, the mixture is blended once and then the heavy cream is stirred in before freezing. Hope that helps.

We have a 1.5 quart ice cream maker. How many quarts is this recipe for?
Michelle
Hi there, this makes approximately 1 pint of ice cream. You can double the recipe to a larger batch.
