By Jason Griffith | ChefManiac.com
Introduction
This Mango Chocolate Marble Ice Cream is a tropical-meets-chocolate swirl of creamy bliss. No ice cream maker required—just whip, fold, swirl, and freeze. It’s rich, smooth, fruity, and chocolatey, with a stunning marbled look that makes every scoop a little piece of art.
It’s perfect for summer, impressing guests, or those late-night freezer dives when only a unique dessert will do.
Why I Love This Recipe
This dessert hits all the right notes: it’s fruity, decadent, silky, and totally refreshing. Mango and chocolate may not be your go-to combo, but once you try them together, it’s a game changer—like pairing Brownie Batter Dip with fruit or swirling Grasshopper Pie into your freezer lineup.
Plus, it’s a no-churn recipe, so it’s super simple and beginner-friendly.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold whipping cream
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
- A few drops mango essence (optional but enhances flavor)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ cup mango purée (fresh or canned works)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freeze Time: 8+ hours
Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes
Servings: About 6 scoops
Instructions
1. Whip the Cream:
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the cold whipping cream for about 1 minute, until slightly thick but not stiff.
2. Add the Sweetener:
Pour in the condensed milk and continue beating for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
3. Add Mango Essence:
Gently fold in a few drops of mango essence to enhance the fruity flavor.
4. Split the Base:
Divide the whipped base into two equal bowls.
5. Make the Chocolate Layer:
In one bowl, mix in the cocoa powder until fully blended.
6. Make the Mango Layer:
In the other bowl, fold in the mango purée until smooth.
7. Marble It:
In a freezer-safe container, alternate spoonfuls of mango and chocolate mixtures. Swirl gently with a spoon to create a marbled effect—don’t overmix!
8. Freeze:
Cover the container and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
9. Scoop & Serve:
Let sit at room temp for 5 minutes before scooping for the perfect creamy texture.
Tips for Success
- Use full-fat cream: It helps create that luscious texture.
- Fresh mango = flavor bomb: If you can, use ripe fresh mango for the purée.
- Swirl lightly: Too much mixing will muddy the marble effect.
- Add crunch: Mix in some crushed cookies or drizzle in chocolate sauce for a sundae twist—like in this No-Bake Oreo Cream Pie.
Serving Suggestions
This dreamy dessert is perfect for:
- Tropical dessert nights
- Ice cream socials with toppings galore
- Pairing with cookies, like Edible Cookie Dough
- Making a layered treat with Ice Cream Sandwich Cake as the base
Storage
- Store: Keep covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Avoid freezer burn: Use an airtight container and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface if storing long-term.
- Soften before serving: Let it sit for 5 minutes to scoop smoothly.
