It's literally raining mangoes! Sweet, juicy and so luscious. No meal is complete without this fruit, it seems. All kinds of mango desserts abound in every home. And I'm bringing my Mango Cherry Frozen Yogurt to this mango party!
Summer is really all about ice creams, isn't it? It's one of my favorite foods, but then the lactose intolerance stops me from eating it. A scoop, once in a while, is the most I can handle, sadly. Not that it stops me from making ice cream for the fam. But the good news is that yogurt agrees with me, and so enter mango cherry frozen yogurt. A treat I can eat heaps of!
Frozen yogurts are the easiest to whip up. There is no custard base to make, and no heating of milk/ cream. The simple mixture of fruits, yogurt, and sugar can be frozen in the freezer and churned a couple of times before letting it freeze for 6-8 hours. But a good ice cream maker like this one from Kitchenif India does all the work for you. Once you've chilled the ice cream/ frozen yogurt mixture, this machine churns it for you, and in twenty minutes, you have an ice cream or frozen yogurt ready to eat! My mango cherry frozen yogurt was ready in a soft serve form in less than twenty! If you want a slightly harder / scoopable consistency, it's better to freeze the frozen yogurt for a few hours.
This wonderful recipe has been adapted from David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop. For all ice cream lovers, I can't recommend this book enough. It's got a plethora of recipes to satisfy every ice cream craving of yours!
As recommended, please use Greek yogurt ( plain) or homemade full-fat yogurt that's been strained for really creamy results.
The amount of sugar you use depends on the sweetness of the mangoes. The ones I used were very sweet and so were the cherries that went in here. And so I cut down on the amount of sugar I used.
A little bit of fresh lemon juice balanced the taste and we got a gorgeous, creamy, lush treat so flavorsome and far superior in quality compared to the commercially made frozen yogurts.
Armed with this fabulous ice cream maker from KITCHENIF INDIA, this summer promises a lot of frozen yogurts, icecreams and sorbets. Can't wait to make more of these frozen treats and share them with you!
Half the joy of cooking is sharing it with others. That’s why I’m always eager to hear from you. So go right ahead & drop a comment or reach out on Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, or Facebook. I hope you love this mango cherry frozen yogurt as much as we do!
📖 Recipe
Mango Cherry Frozen Yogurt
Ingredients
- 400 ml Greek yogurt, plain
- 2 Mangoes, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp Fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup Cherries, pitted and chopped
Instructions
- Blend the mangoes, yogurt, lemon juice and sugar in a blender until completely smooth. Taste and adjust for sweetness. Chill the mixture thoroughly ( I recommend overnight) and add it to the icecream maker according to the manufacturer's instruction.
- Add in the cherries to the churning mixture in about ten minutes. Continue with the icecream makers instructions.
- Once the icecream is ready, in about 20 minutes, you can serve it immediately or turn it out in a pan and freeze it for 6- 8 hours to get a slightly harder/ scoopable consistency. Scoop into bowls/ cones, serve immediately. Enjoy!

I miss my mother's self made kulfu as it was my favorite summer treat. She used to try different flavours Everytime and I used to love tasting them all. It's been 4 years now that I have been living away from my mother, but every summer I miss her delicious kulfi. I would love to gift this ice cream maker to her as she is getting old and it would make things simple for her.
