Mango Ice Cream

As the aroma of fresh waffle cones spread...not just kids but adults too are tempted to enter the place. Yes, it is the ice cream shop or the fancy word is Ice Cream Parlor. :) You get to taste so many colorful delicious flavors before choosing one. WOW what if I just taste and say I don't like any... and that is exactly why ice cream places do not let you taste it or would just have limited tasting policy :) I am always sure I want a Mango flavored, but still it is fun to get a taste test.

Ice cream is not a new concept. I have had my parents telling me about the traditional ice cream churner: a container filled with ice cream mixture is placed and rotated around ice and salt mixture to make creamy frozen mixture called ice cream :) I remember the concept of ice and salt creating freezing mixture...we learned that in school right?? Yes, ice cream making is actually science. :)

I remember every summer vacation mummy would have freezer full of mango ice cream for us. Just mango milkshake which was frozen and delicious. Even if it was a slightly icey...who cared...slushy mango ice cream on hot summer day was all we wanted!

So finally with hot summer days and mango in season, it was time to whip my favorite flavor. Check out my other ice cream recipes.
