Ninja Creami Mango Coconut Lime Ice Cream (Dairy Free)

Ninja Creami mango ice cream made with full-fat coconut milk is one of the most refreshing frozen treats you can make this summer, and your family is going to ask for it every single week.

this …

I love this recipe because it tastes like something you would order at a tropical resort, and yet it comes together with just a handful of simple ingredients and your Ninja Creami. The coconut milk gives it this incredibly rich and creamy texture that you would never guess is completely dairy-free.

This one is perfect for busy moms who want to serve something special without standing over the stove. You simply mix, freeze, and spin. In no time at all, you have a golden, creamy mango ice cream that looks gorgeous in a bowl.

Why You Will Love This Recipe

The combination of ripe mango and coconut milk is a classic tropical pairing, and the squeeze of lime juice at the end brightens everything up beautifully. It is naturally dairy-free, and it comes together with no cooking and no special skills required.

I have discovered over the years that frozen mango chunks from the freezer section are every bit as good as fresh mango for this recipe, and they make the prep work so much easier. Keep a bag in your freezer all summer long, and you are always just a few minutes away from a batch of this.

Tools Needed:

• Ninja Creami Original N300
• Extra Pints
• 5oz Glass Dessert Bowls Parfet Cups
• Peohud 6 Pack Glass Dessert Bowls, 10 Oz Footed Ice Cream Cups

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen mango chunks
• ¾ cup full-fat unsweetened coconut milk (canned, shaken well)
• 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime zest
• Pinch of salt
• (Optional: 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder)

Tips From Susan Before You Begin

• Make sure you use full-fat coconut milk from a can, not the carton kind. The fat content is what gives this ice cream its creamy, scoopable texture. Light coconut milk will give you an icy result instead.
• Shake your can of coconut milk very well before measuring. The cream and liquid separate when they sit, and you want both mixed together for the best consistency.
• If your mango chunks are very large, give them a rough chop before blending so everything combines smoothly.

How to Make Ninja Creami Tropical Mango Ice Cream

1. Blend your base: Add the frozen mango chunks, full-fat coconut milk, monk fruit sweetener, lime zest, and salt to a blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until completely smooth and no mango chunks remain. Pro tip: If your blender struggles with the frozen mango, let the chunks sit on the counter for 5 minutes to soften slightly before blending. (or microwave for 15 seconds to warm up the mangos)
2. Pour and freeze: Pour the blended mixture into your Ninja Creami pint container, filling it to the max fill line. Place the lid on and freeze for a full 24 hours. Pro tip: Do not try to shortcut the freeze time. A full 24 hours is what gives you that perfect spin.
3. Process in the Ninja Creami: Remove your pint from the freezer and let it sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Place it in the outer bowl, lock it into the machine, and process on the Ice Cream setting. Pro tip: If the machine sounds like it is straining, stop and let the pint rest on the counter for another 2 to 3 minutes before processing again.
4. Check the texture and re-spin: If needed, after the first spin, check your ice cream. If it looks a little crumbly or icy in the center, simply place it back in the machine and hit Re-spin. One re-spin almost always gives you that perfectly smooth, creamy result. Pro tip: Try not to overmix by spinning more than twice, or it can become soupy, but if too icy, let it sit out again for 5 min and spin again on remix.
5. Serve and enjoy: Scoop your tropical mango ice cream into bowls right away for the creamiest texture. The golden color is absolutely gorgeous, and a little extra squeeze of lime on top takes it over the edge.

Variations

• Mango pineapple: Add ¼ cup frozen pineapple chunks to the blender along with your mango for an even more tropical flavor combination the whole family will love.
• Spicy mango: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a tiny bit of chili lime seasoning to the blender. It sounds surprising, but it is one of the most refreshing combinations you can imagine on a hot summer day.
• Extra sweet: If your mango is not very ripe or sweet, add an extra tablespoon of monk fruit sweetener or a small drizzle of honey to the blender before processing.
