Two-Ingredient Almond Mango Ice Cream (Vegan)

I was driving home from work this week and craving a sweet frozen treat. I knew I wanted something light and quick when the idea to make a five-minute nice cream hit me.

With a half opened carton of almond milk in the fridge and a bag of mango chunks in the freezer, I had all of the ingredients I needed.

I tossed both ingredients into the blender, selected the Frozen Desserts setting, and a few minutes later, my ice cream was ready.

Nice creams are ice-cream-like desserts that can be made using a blender or food processor (no ice cream maker needed). Often, they are healthier than regular ice creams, which is why they’re so nice.

The most basic form is a classic, creamy one-ingredient banana ice cream. You can see how I used it in these Peanut Butter + Banana Ice Cream Sandwiches. This mango ice cream is an alternative, no-banana nice cream recipe, and just one of endless variations of easy ice cream recipes.

I highly recommend experimenting with different ingredients, whether they be mix-ins like Nutella with a banana base or chopped nuts in a mango base. For instance, in the past, I’ve tried a mango coconut milk combination, which was creamy and delightful, as well as a delicious cardamon-cinnamon banana.

To add a bit of texture to this mango base, I used my other Vitamix container, the dry grains container, to chop up some almonds to top off the ice cream.

I used this same technique to chop pecans when making these Sesame and Pecan Schnecken Swirls with Orange Glaze. If blended for longer, the chopped nuts would soon turn into flour, much like how I make Homemade Oat Flour.
