Notes
Use ripe and fragrant mangoes for the best flavor.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar, according to your preference.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice for a bright and tangy taste.
Allow the mango mixture to chill thoroughly before blending for a smoother texture.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze it. Take it out every 30 minutes and stir vigorously to prevent ice crystals from forming.
