Mango Coconut Fruit Whip Swirl

Directions

1. 1Blend the coconut milk, mango, maple syrup, and lime juice until completely smooth.
2. 2Pour the puree into a Swirl 2-in-1 pint, keeping it at or below the max-fill line.
3. 3Freeze the pint flat for about 24 hours until solid.
4. 4Lock the pint into the Swirl and run the Fruit Whip or Lite Ice Cream program for a dairy-free soft serve.
5. 5Run Re-spin if the texture is at all icy, so it dispenses smooth.
6. 6Attach the nozzle, choose the soft-serve setting, pull the handle for a tropical swirl, and finish with toasted coconut.

Tips

• Freeze your pint completely solid for at least 16 hours before inserting into the Creami; if it's not fully frozen, you'll get a crumbly texture instead of creamy, so plan ahead.
• If your result comes out powdery or icy after spinning, add just a splash of coconut milk or regular milk and re-spin to get that smooth swirl texture back.
• Use the Sorbet program setting for this recipe since the base is liquid; Ice Cream mode works better with higher fat bases, so Sorbet gives you the best consistency.

Variations

• Swap half the mango for frozen pineapple chunks to add brightness and a tropical tang that plays well with the coconut and lime.
• Use agave nectar instead of maple syrup if you prefer a milder sweetness or want to keep the flavor more neutral and let the fruit shine.
• Add 1/4 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger to your base before freezing for a warm spice note that complements coconut and mango nicely.

FAQ

Can I use light coconut milk instead of full-fat?

Light coconut milk works but gives you a slightly icier texture after spinning; full-fat creates that creamy swirl the recipe is built for, so stick with it if texture matters to you.

How long does this keep in the freezer after I freeze the pint?

Your pint stays good for about 2 weeks frozen solid in the freezer; after that, freezer burn can affect the flavor and texture.

My frozen pint won't insert into the Creami or feels stuck. What do I do?

Run warm water over the outside of the pint container for 10-15 seconds to slightly loosen it, then try inserting it again; don't force it or you could damage the machine.

Can I make this lighter or lower in calories?

You can swap in lite coconut milk for half the full-fat portion, though this will make the result less creamy when you spin it; add a tablespoon of water to your base to help it freeze and scoop more easily.
