Notes | FAQ
- Evaporated milk has very little water content, hence you will get a creamy ice cream. You cannot replace it with regular milk. You will end up with water crystals in the ice cream.
- You can substitute Evaporated milk + Sugar with Condensed milk, for a more rich and creamier ice cream. However condensed milk is very sweet and along with mango it would make the ice cream even sweeter. I don't like when it gets too sweet.
- I like chunks of mango in my ice cream. Hence I reserved ¼th of the mango pulp and added at the end. You can also just blend the whole mango pulp.
- Mango should be really ripe to get the best flavor.
- Adjust the quantity of sugar as per the sweetness of the mango.
