- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

- Serve with Crunch: Scoop out the ice cream into bowls and top each serving with a sprinkle of crispy rice cereal for that delicious crunch!
Top Tips for Perfecting Crispy Mango Ice Cream
- Mango Selection: Choose ripe mangoes that are soft to the touch to guarantee the sweetest flavor.
- Customization: For added richness, you can swap out heavy cream for whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
- Texture Control: If you want that perfect crispy texture, add the cereal toppings just before serving to keep them crunchy.
- Timing: Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
Storing and Reheating Tips
