Strawberry Mango Ice Recipes

STRAWBERRY-MANGO ICE CREAM WITH FRESH SPEARMINT

Steps:

• Pour half-and-half into a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Continue to heat until half-and-half is hot, but do not let it come to a boil.
• Whisk egg yolks in a small bowl until pale yellow.
• Slowly add about 1 cup of the half-and-half mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Repeat with another cup. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining half-and-half mixture and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let the mixture boil.
• Remove from heat and stir in spearmint and coconut extract. Pour mixture into a bowl with a pour spout and let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Pour 1/2 of the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn to the consistency of soft-serve. Add strawberry puree. Continue to churn until ice cream has thickened. Transfer ice cream to a bowl and clean out the ice cream maker with a rubber spatula. Place strawberry ice cream in the freezer.
• Pour the remaining ice cream base into the ice cream maker and churn to the consistency of soft-serve. Add mango puree. Continue to churn until the ice cream has thickened.
• Remove strawberry ice cream from the freezer. Place a large scoop of strawberry ice cream in a 9-inch loaf pan using 2 large spoons. Top with a large scoop of mango ice cream. Fill up the loaf pan, continuing to alternate flavors. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours.

DOUBLE BERRY-MANGO ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Scoop 1 pint mango sorbet into cookie crust and let soften a little more while you prepare the berry filling.
• Cut frozen berries in syrup into thin slices. Place 1/2 in a bowl and mix with a handheld mixer until well broken up. Add remaining frozen berries and mix briefly until combined but still chunky. Mix with strawberry ice cream.
• Spread softened sorbet over the bottom of the crust. Top with berry-strawberry ice cream mixture. Scoop on remaining pint of mango sorbet; spread to the edges of the pie and swirl the top decoratively. Cover and freeze for 6 hours (or up to 1 week).
• Cut long strips of orange peel with a citrus peel stripper, pressing firmly against the orange and turning the fruit slowly. Use a straight pin to pin one end of each strip to a drinking straw; wind tightly around the straw, then fasten the other end to the straw with another pin. Put straws in a shallow container, cover with water and ice cubes, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or up to 3 days).
• Remove pie from the freezer 30 minutes before serving. Remove orange peels from the refrigerator; drain and pat dry. Unpin curls and dispose of pins, then slide off the straws.
• To serve, arrange orange curls on pie, snipping to make them shorter if you wish, with raspberries, strawberries, sprinkles, and mint.
