# How to Make:

01 - Combine diced mango, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in blender. Process until completely smooth and uniform.
02 - Transfer blended mixture into freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every hour to achieve creamier texture. Alternatively, process in ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions.
03 - Heat coconut oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add rolled oats and shredded coconut, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
04 - Drizzle toasted oat mixture with maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon and salt. Cook 1 to 2 additional minutes until crisp. Transfer to plate and cool completely before serving.
05 - Scoop frozen mango coconut mixture into serving bowls. Top generously with cooled toasted oats, fresh mango slices, and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's genuinely creamy without dairy, thanks to coconut milk doing the heavy lifting you didn't know it could.
  • The toasted oats add texture that keeps things interesting, not just a smooth frozen blob.
  • Four ingredients for the ice cream means you can throw this together without stressing about a complex method.
02 -
  • If you forget to stir the freezing mixture and it turns brick-hard, just cut it into chunks and blend it again with a splash of coconut milk to reset it back to soft.
  • Pre-freezing your mango chunks changes everything—they blend into an even silkier result and the whole mixture freezes faster.
03 -
  • Freeze your mango chunks ahead of time for an even creamier final texture and a faster freeze overall.
  • If the blended mixture seems thin, freeze it for thirty minutes before stirring so it thickens slightly and holds together better.
