Mango Pineapple Ice Cream is one of the most refreshing ice creams I’ve ever made.
It still boggles my mind that so much fresh flavor is possible from a couple cans of fruit, a splash of cream, and a squeeze of lime.
When Alberston’s and Safeway asked me if I’d like to create a new recipe for the “Cans Get You Cooking” project, I jumped at the chance to play with some foods that were already in our pantry.
I love keeping a well-stocked pantry because it makes spur of the moment cooking and baking possible. I couldn’t resist the canned mangoes last time I was picking up canned pineapple and I picked up a couple cans to try.
I was pleasantly surprised by how well the flavors from the mango and pineapple combined with just enough cream added to make it a little bit rich and still keep it light. A twist of lime brightens the flavors and a pinch of salt enhances them nicely.
The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

Joan Hayes says
This ice cream looks so summery and refreshing, and best of all, easy to make! A win, win!
Janet says
AFTER YOU BLEND ALL THE INGREDIENTS IN THE BLENDER, DO YOU HAVE TO CHILL THE MIXTURE IN THE REFRIGERATOR UNTIL VERY COLD BEFORE PUTTING IN THE ICE CREAM MAKER TO CHURN? THANK YOU!
Mary Younkin says
It will churn faster if it’s icy cold when you pour it into the machine, but that isn’t required, Janet.
