Ingredients

Makes 12. Takes 15 minutes + overnight to set

Cream Layer

  • 400mL coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp liquid sweetener (eg brown rice malt syrup / coconut nectar)
  • 1 tsp guar gum (optional)

Mango Layer

  • 3 cups oob organic frozen mango
  • 2 tbsp liquid sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp guar gum (optional)

Method

  1. Blend cream ingredients on high until super smooth, set aside 1/4 c of the mix, then pour remainder into a lined square tin and place in the freezer for 20 minutes
  2. Blend mango ingredients with the remaining 1/4 c coconut cream, then pour onto the cream layer (once it’s set sufficiently)
  3. Freeze overnight, slice into bars and serve.
    Notes: The guar gum is optional, so you can make without and they’ll still taste delicious, but I’d recommend using it if you can, as it helps to give a traditional creamy ice cream texture, rather than them turning icy.
    For some extra zing, try some mixing a couple of tablespoons of passionfruit pulp into the mango layer before before layering
