Mango Queso Ice Cream
A creamy, lighter version of the traditional ice cream that combines the natural sweetness of ripe mangoes with the salty creaminess of queso (cheese).
Equipment
Ice Cream Maker
Blender (Optional)
9x5x3 loaf pan or a 2-quart freezer-safe container
Ingredients
3 Manila or Ataulfo mangoes, diced (2 cups mashed)
⅔ cup granulated sugar see note
1 cup water
2 cups heavy cream sub: full-fat coconut milk/cream or half-and-half
⅓ cup tapioca starch
½ cup crumbled cheddar or Edam cheese
Instructions
1. Combine the diced mangoes, sugar, water, and heavy cream in a saucepan. You can use an immersion blender to blend everything until smooth or leave some mango chunks as desired. Alternatively, you can mash the mangoes and whisk all the ingredients together in the saucepan.
2. Add the tapioca starch and mix until completely dissolved.
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring constantly. It should slightly thicken and coat the back of a spoon.
4. Remove from the heat and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.
5. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Gradually add the cheese toward the end.
6. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface, then cover completely to prevent ice crystals from forming. Store it in the coldest part of your freezer.
7. Serve and enjoy! You may need to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
