Caramelized Mango Banana Ice Cream

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

IMG_4730-2First ice cream recipe of the season on FF!! And it won’t be the last.

I’m so happy to be able to eat ice cream again without needing 3 jackets and a campfire. I’m starting off this sweet summer season with something I’ve never tried before. Something you may have never tried before. Something that my friend Petra from HoneywithSpice.com has definitely tried before in her Instagram creations, and has inspired me to try…

Caramelizing fruit before using it in a recipe! So I’ve taken simple mango-banana ice cream, and amped up the flavor with some coconut sugar and cooking. The wonderful thing about caramelizing fruit is that it doesn’t change the flavor too much, it just accentuates the natural flavors of the fruit. And I’d never say no to more intense mango flavor!

3 ingredients + toppings. So simple, but so delicious. The toughest part is the waiting overnight for the fruit to freeze. Actually the toughest part is not eating the caramelized fruit warm from the pan. But you must abstain today for the sake of delicious ice cream tomorrow.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe mangos
  • 2–3 ripe bananas
  • 2 tbsps coconut sugar
  • Toppings (coconut flakes, fresh fruit, granola, chia seeds, dried fruit, freeze dried fruit, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Cut the mangos and bananas into large chunks.
  2. Add the fruit to a large non-stick pan. Sprinkle on the coconut sugar and toss to coat.
  3. With the heat on medium-high, caramelize the fruit for 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to make sure nothing sticks or burns.The fruit should be juicy and slightly browned.
  4. Let the fruit cool, then transfer to a container to freeze overnight.
  5. The next day, remove the frozen fruit from the freezer. Let it defrost to the point where it is possible to break apart.
  6. Add the fruit to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  7. Serve immediately with whatever toppings you choose. Or freeze the ice cream for about 30 minutes for a firmer, scoopable ice cream.

Trust You to take it to the next level! and I almost fainted when I saw you mentioning me in your post! Thank you so much it’s like receiving a signed photo from your idol (back in a day) xxx

      Caramelized fruit is awesome, I’m so glad you introduced me to it! I could have eaten the entire pan of warm sweet fruit, it was kind of challenging to actually stick it in the freezer and wait 🙂 And you are constantly giving me new ideas both on you IG and blog, not to mention being my unofficial IG watchdog 😉

      Thanks Melissa! It’s nothing too crazy, but when you eat nicecream all the time like I do it’s fun to find new ways to change it up 🙂

    This looks and sounds like it’s totally worth the {nonexistent} effort 🙂 I love roasted fruit of all kind, but never tried roasting mango yet — I bet this is absolutely delicious. Will have to try this out for one of my morning nice creams sometime 🙂 With a side of roasted strawberries and pineapple while I’m at it {may as well get it all out with at once! 😉 }.

      Caramelized pineapple in burgers!?! That sounds interesting! Apparently I really need to try caramelizing pineapple, because you’re not the only one who has mentioned that tasty-sounding idea 🙂

    Oh my goodness – YUM! I have to try this once I stock up on fruit again. I don’t know if I could last to the ice-cream stage though – I’d probably eat the caramelized stuff as is 😉

      It’s really best eaten right after you make it, freezing for too long will make it hard and icy and not good😬

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
