This Ninja Creami 3-Ingredient Mango Ice Cream is the creamiest one I’ve made—and my kids’ favorite out of all the fruit flavors. It’s smooth, fruity, and so easy to whip up with just three simple ingredients.
I love mango. I love easy recipes. So naturally, this mango ice cream became a quick favorite.
I usually stock up at H Mart—especially when mangoes are on sale. My kids eat them fresh, frozen, or blended into sorbet. We’ve made peach and mango sorbet and even a frozen mango-only version, but this creamy ice cream is their #1 request.
It’s our summer freezer staple.

What You’ll Need (Just 3 Things!)
This is just an overview—jump down to the full recipe card for exact amounts and detailed instructions!
- Fresh mangoes – I used Ataulfo mangoes (those small golden ones). Sweet and super smooth.
- Half and half – Gives a creamy base without being too heavy.
- Condensed milk – Adds sweetness and helps with that dreamy texture.
Substitution and Additions
- No half & half? Use equal parts whole milk + heavy cream.
- No fresh mangoes? Frozen mango chunks work great too.
- Lactose-free? Use sweetened coconut condensed milk.
How I Make It in My Ninja Creami
I toss all three ingredients in a blender until smooth, then pour the mix into a Ninja Creami pint and freeze it for 24 hours (make sure it’s on a flat surface!).
Once frozen, I pop it into the Ninja Creami and use the "Lite Ice Cream" mode. If it comes out crumbly, I do a quick re-spin and maybe add a tablespoon of milk.
That’s it! Super creamy mango, every-single-time.
Let’s Talk Toppings & Mix-Ins
- 🍪 Crushed graham crackers – Gives it a mango cheesecake feel.
- 🥥 Toasted coconut flakes – Adds texture and tropical flair.
How Much Does It Make?
This recipe is made for the Ninja Creami Deluxe—so it makes about 4 servings. Perfect for family dessert night or, let’s be real or personal joy.
🌀Tools I Use (and You’ll Want Too)
Here’s what I use to make it happen:
- Blender: Makes mixing ingredients effortless.
- Ninja CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Ice Cream & Frozen Treat Maker: The star of the show, perfect for creating creamy, smooth ice cream.
- Ninja Creami Pint Container: The pint container is essential for freezing and churning your ice cream mix.
My Go-To Tips for Success
- If crumbly, add 1–2 tablespoon milk and respin.
- Taste your base before freezing. Slightly sweeter = better after freezing.
- Leftovers? Flatten the surface, re-freeze, and respin when ready.
- Too hard to scoop? Microwave it on defrost or use the Creami’s re-spin.
🤔 Your Questions, Answered!
At least 24 hours on a completely flat surface—don’t rush it!
Try “Ice Cream” or “Ice Cream” depending on how soft you like it.
Absolutely! Just let it thaw slightly before blending.
