For a delicious and healthy treat, indulge yourself with this 2-Ingredient Mango Nice Cream. It’s grain-free, sugar-free, vegan, paleo/GAPS-friendly, and completely guilt-free!
It’s getting to be that time of year where all I ever think about is ice cream. And being on the GAPS diet means that ice cream is pretty much completely off the menu.
Or so I thought…
Let me introduce you to my family’s newest favorite treat: this gorgeous, easy, healthy, completely GAPS-friendly (stage 6 and beyond that is) 2-ingredient Mango Nice Cream.
The end of ice cream?
Ever since going gluten-free after the birth of my son, ice cream was a struggle. By the time I took out everything I was intolerant to – gluten (so nothing cookie or brownie), corn (so nothing with corn syrup), and eggs (so nothing real) – I was left with the three basic options: chocolate, vanilla, and mint.
Yay.
Not that I don’t love those three flavors, they happen to be amazing ones, they just got a little old after… years. And then I realized I couldn’t have sugar. Of any kind. Except honey. There went my three allowances!
A better choice.
So I decided to go into business making my own ice cream. Not really, though I suppose I could call feeding my family a business. 😉 I began whipping up yummy treats like my Honey Kiwi Soft Serve and my Mint Ice Cream with Fudge Swirl. And the natives rejoiced.
If you’re looking to enjoy a sweet treat this summer without sacrificing your health, please let me introduce you to this delicious nice cream. With only 2 ingredients, it’s an quick and easy treat. All you need are a couple mangoes and some coconut oil. Of course, you could always add in some vanilla, or a little honey if you want it sweeter, but it seriously doesn’t need any help being delicious.

2-Ingredient Mango Nice Cream
Free of grain, gluten, eggs, dairy, and sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 mangoes, room-temp
- 1/4 c. softened coconut oil
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh into chunks.
Place mangoes and coconut oil in blender (I use this one) and puree until smooth.
Pour into ice cream maker (I use this one) and process for about 20 minutes, or until nice and fluffy.
Scoop into freezer-safe container and freeze for about 2 hours.
Makes about a quart, depending on the size of your mangoes.
Oh my! Love that this is 1) mango – heellooo!! b) has only 2 ingredients – yay! and 3) so easy to make – I’ll enlist my kids to make it while I lounge by the poolside. (Just kidding, we don’t have a pool. 😉 )
Baha! Sounds like a good idea, whether you have a pool or not. 😉
This looks incredible! Love the vibrant color!
Thank you, Joni!
Two words: Yum my! mango is my favorite fruit!
It’s one of my favorites, too! SO delicious. 🙂
Want. Some. Now. Please. This looks so good!!! It was so hot here today, I wish that I got to enjoy some of this!
Thanks so much, Emily! I’m wishing mango season was all year with this treat. 😉
Woah! The coconut oil caught me by surprise! I expected coconut milk, not oil…now I’m super intrigued. And I just so happen to have four ripe mangoes! Bet my kids would love me if I whipped this up for snack! THANKS!
You are so welcome! I hope your kids enjoy it as much as mine do! 🙂
With two of my favorite ingredients, this sounds like something I need to make. I’ve often thought about using coconut oil as the base for things like ice creams and frosting so I think I found my answer. 🙂 Thank you!
I hope you enjoy it, Shannon!
So EXCITED to try this recipe! I don’t have an ice cream maker..
Is there any way to make it without one? (sorry for the perhaps ridiculous question!)
I have never made ice cream and know nothing!
Love Mango. My niece is ‘dairy free’ so I’d love to make this for her!!!
I’m sure you could still make it without an ice cream maker, it just might not be as light and fluffy. 😉 I would just pour it into a freezer-safe container, like a loaf pan, and then give it a stir every few hours until it set. Should work fine! Hope you and your niece enjoy it, Carol!
That is just so absolutely gorgeous! The only thing keeping me from making this is my very unfortunate lack of an ice cream maker ? I’ll have to borrow my mil’s!
Aw, no worries! You could probably make it without an ice cream maker. I would just pour it into a freezer-safe container, like a loaf pan, and then give it a stir every few hours until it set. Should work fine, but it just probably won’t be as light and fluffy in the end. 😉 Hope you get a chance to try it, either way!
This is an amazing and easy dessert! Love mangos, this won’t last long once made, everyone will eat it up for sure!
Haha! That’s usually what happens here, too. 😉
I’ve made banana nice cream but never mango nice cream before. My son LOVES mangos so I will have to make this for him soon.
I hope he enjoys it, Erin!
How awesome is this ice cream recipe? Only 2 ingredients! I am so amped to make this recipe.
I hope you enjoy it, Heidy!
I love this recipe and vegan ice creams like this are a life saver in my home. It’s healthy and still delicious.
Yes! So easy and healthy!
My whole family loves mango ice cream and this is absolutely amazing! I’m sure they’ll enjoy this!
Thank you! I hope they do!
