For me, summers are for family trips to India so there are only a few things we can survive the 100+ degree weather for: traveling, family reunions and mangoes. When we land at the airport we’re greeted with coconut water, mango slices and strangely, a steaming cup of the best coffee you will ever have in your life. So when we come back and go through withdrawal, there’s only one cure: homemade mango ice cream. Whether you’re in India or Indiana, this no-fuss treat is perfect for those long-awaited summer evenings out in the backyard.
