I use canned mango pulp to make mango lassi...fresh mangoes are so expensive and not even tasty where I live...how much does 2 mangoes equate to in cups of pulp?

What a wonderful frozen dessert! It had a delicate, light flavor with a rich and creamy texture. I processed the mangos in my food processor, so the puree was very smooth. I then mixed together and prechilled all the ingredients. Processing in my Cuisinart 1.5 qt frozen yogurt maker, the dessert was ready to serve in about 25 minutes. I also prechilled custard cups in the freezer to keep the frozen yogurt from melting as it was served. Next time I think I might try using ginger instead of the cardamom.mum. -
Oh, baby. Delish. I made this with low fat sour cream that I needed to use up. The one step I would add is give the ingredients a quick mix before you add it to the ice cream maker. I added each ingredient separately and ended up with a thin layer of sour cream frozen to the bottom that never got incorporated. -
Made half a recipe and was very nice. I didn't use the ice cream maker, just put the mix in the freezer. -
Yum! Made this using homemade greek yogurt and mangoes from my yard! Didn't use the cardamom, but did add a bit of grated ginger. Used raw sugar instead of white. -
Great taste! I used more cardamom and splenda sugar substitute, but like any chef will do, we modify the recipes to our tastes. I also topped with blueberries before serving, my whole family enjoyed it! Thanks for posting!

This was just wonderful. I made some minor substitutions (homemade yogurt and heavy cream instesd of store-bought greek yogurt, plus rosewater instead of vanilla and a little more cardamom than called for). Really complex and creamy and mango-y. Almost too sweet; next time I might use less sugar as long as I had really sweet mangoes.
