The Sunshine in a Scoop Effortless Creamy Mango Ice Cream

Instructions:

1. Ensure your mango chunks are completely frozen solid.
2. Place the frozen mango chunks and the entire can of sweetened condensed milk into the bowl of a high-powered blender or food processor.
3. Pulse initially to break up the chunks, then blend continuously. Stop and scrape down the sides frequently until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and resembles soft-serve consistency (this may take 3–5 minutes).
4. Stir in the optional teaspoon of fresh lime juice, if using.
5. Scrape the mango mixture into your chosen freezer-safe container (a loaf pan works well) and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming, then seal the container with a lid. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until firm.
7. Allow the ice cream to sit on the counter for 5–10 minutes before scooping to achieve the perfect texture.
