This Easy Mango Frozen Yogurt recipe has a rich, creamy texture and a bright fruity flavor. It whips up easily in a high-speed blender for a healthy frozen treat to satisfy your ice cream cravings.
If you read my other blog (An Edible Mosaic), you may already know that I am a sucker for mangoes.
Alphonso mangoes in particular have my heart. It's a love affair that I picked up while living in Kuwait where my niece and I would make Mango Soft Serve with them. However, they’re next to impossible to find here in DC!
I’ve settled for what I consider to be the next best thing, Ataulfo or Champagne mangoes, which are also pretty fabulous.
This rich and creamy frozen treat is a play on the flavors of one of my favorite drinks, the Mango Lassi. It has a bright, fruity flavor that's a nice balanced sweet/tart flavor.

Tips for Making Mango Frozen Yogurt
- Make sure to use frozen mangoes, or fresh mangoes that are peeled, chopped, and flash frozen.
- To flash freeze mango (or any fruit), chop it, spread it out on a parchment paper-lined baking tray, and freeze until solid, about 2 hours. Use it in a recipe or transfer it to a zip-top plastic bag, label it with the contents and date, and freeze it for up to 6 months.
- Instead of flash freezing fresh mango, you can use store-bought frozen mango chunks.
- If you like your frozen yogurt soft-serve style, enjoy it right after blending.
- Or if you prefer firmer ice cream-style consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe dish. Cover and freeze for 2 hours.

Easy Mango Frozen Yogurt
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Description
This Easy Mango Frozen Yogurt Recipe has a rich, creamy texture and a bright fruity flavor. It whips up easily in a high-speed blender for a healthy frozen treat to satisfy your ice cream cravings.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped fresh ripe mangoes (from about 4 mangoes; look for Champagne/Ataulfo mangoes or Alphonso mangoes)
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup plain unsweetened yogurt
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the chopped mango out in an even layer. Freeze 2 hours (or overnight).
- Add the frozen mango and all remaining ingredients to a high-speed blender and process until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, tamping down as necessary.
- For soft serve-style frozen yogurt, serve immediately.
- For a firmer ice cream-style consistency, pour the mango mixture into a freezer-safe dish. Cover and freeze 2 hours or longer (if you freeze 8 hours or more, you may want to let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving).
Notes
- Using a Regular Blender (Instead of High-Speed Blender): I haven’t tried this using a regular blender (or food processor) so I don’t know for sure how well it would work
- To keep it paleo, use canned unsweetened full-fat coconut milk instead of yogurt.
- For the vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey and canned unsweetened full-fat coconut milk instead of yogurt.
- Instead of flash freezing fresh mango, you can use store-bought frozen mango chunks.
