Mango Chamoy Swirl (non-dairy)
- 4 ripe mangoes (peeled and cubed) or 3 cups of mango pulp
- 1/2 cup water or coconut water (for a tropical twist)
- 1/4 cup chamoy sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2-3 tablespoons lime juice (for tanginess)
- 2-3 tablespoons agave syrup, honey, or sugar (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt (to enhance flavor)
- Tajín seasoning (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Blend Mango Base: In a blender, add the mango cubes (or mango pulp), water or coconut water, lime juice, and sweetener. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness if needed.
- Add Chamoy: Drizzle in the chamoy sauce and pulse the blender a few times to swirl it into the mango mixture. You want the chamoy to mix through but still have visible ribbons of chamoy.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the freezer.
- Stir Occasionally: Every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours, take the container out of the freezer and stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals. This will help create a smoother texture.
- Serve: Once the ice cream has fully set (after about 4-6 hours), scoop it into bowls or cones. Garnish with Tajín seasoning and a drizzle of extra chamoy for added flavor.
