Mango Daiquiri Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 large (approximately 2 cups chopped) very ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped into ½ inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon plus 1 pinch salt
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ¾ cup whole milk
- zest from 1 lime
- 3 tablespoons rum
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a food processor, purée the chopped mangoes, fresh lime juice, light corn syrup and salt until very smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and set aside.
- Set up an ice water bath with a large bowl one half full of icy water with a smaller bowl set on top of the ice. Place a sieve on the top bowl.
- In a heat resistant medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch and the ¼ cup whole milk until the mixture becomes light yellow and the sugar has dissolved. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the ¾ cup whole milk until it comes just below the boil.
- Slowly whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and place over medium heat. Whisk the mixture constantly until it thickens slightly. The custard should coat the back of a spoon and leave a path as you pull your finger across it.
- Pour the custard through the sieve set over the top bowl of the ice water bath. Remove the sieve without pressing down on the solids that remain.
- Whisk the zest, rum and heavy cream into the mixture until well blended. Allow to cool.
- Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to get very cold.
- Process the mixture in an ice cream maker of your choice.
- Freeze the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer overnight, before serving.
