Mango Daiquiri Ice Cream

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.
