Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mangoes
- 1/2 cup passion fruit pulp
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Step 1: Peel and dice mangoes into small cubes, then transfer to a blender with passion fruit pulp, maple syrup, lime juice, and water.
- Step 2: Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth, scraping down the sides once to ensure no lumps remain.
- Step 3: Taste and adjust sweetness by adding 1 tsp more maple syrup if needed, or extra lime juice for tartness.
- Step 4: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes until thickened like soft-serve.
