Mango Ice Cream You Can Make in Your Dorm

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Skidmore chapter.

As someone who ran her own baking business, the lack of a full kitchen (no oven or stove) at my college makes my life very difficult. I have to create food somehow. So over the past semester I have been gathering a folder of recipes on my computer and adapting them to be college “kitchen” friendly. This recipe is part of a series of recipes I have deemed dorm friendly that feed my stress baking need. I present to you dorm mango ice cream.

My favorite thing about mangoes is due to the fact that they have two peak seasons, they are pretty easy to find all year round. Mangoes go well with coconut, so this recipe is easy to substitute coconut milk products in for the diary products to make it vegan. This fresh sweet treat also goes well with chocolate or whipped cream.

I have found since testing this recipe on my friends, that fruity ice cream might just be the next big thing. I use this recipe for a creative twist on getting some fruit in my diet (it doesn’t count as ice cream if it’s got fruit). I hope it encourages you to great creative in your dorm room. There’s lots you can make without a kitchen, you’ve just got to think outside the box.
