Best of tropical Singapore style ice cream: How to macerate fresh mango for Mango Ice Cream

So how do you macerate fresh mango for The Simplest Mango Ice Cream recipe? Well, it is really pretty easy:

Step 1: Slice mango in half and use a metal spoon to thinly scoop out the flesh. Toss out the large seed and do the same for the other half.

Step 2: Mix one mango with 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar in bowl (really depends on how sweet you want it or how big and sweet your mango is).

Step 3: Mix mango and sugar evenly by tossing them about. Add about 1 tablespoon of lime or lemon juice and toss together. The acid from the lime or lemon juice prevents the mango from oxidising.

Step 4: Transfer macerated mango into a holding bowl or container and store in fridge for at least 2 hours or up to a day before use. It should produce a lot of liquid by now.

Once you're done with macerating, just follow The Simplest Mango Ice Cream recipe and you are pretty much on your way to a wonderfully tangy tropical flavoured fruit ice cream!

Note: Pick the fleshiest mango you can find! If not, you might have to use 2 skinny mangoes instead of 1!
