Can we say tropical heaven? I didn't have 1/2 and 1/2 but I did (past tense) have some whipping cream hanging out in the fridge that jumped up and volunteered for the job. The mango came out in a perfectly smooth puree in the food processor and made a wonderfully mango flavored, creamy ice cream that was a real hit with the folks here. This is purrrrefect goodness.

Oooooh - heaven on earth! Made this with whipping cream (half n half is expensive and hard to find in Costa Rica) and it was creamy deliciousness... Waited till last few minutes of freezing time in my Cuisinart to add the rum. What a hit on a hot and steamy afternoon!
