Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup milk

Directions
- Peel the mangos; cut away as much flesh from the pits as possible.

- In a mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the egg yolks until thickened and pale yellow; beat in the cornstarch; set aside.
- Bring the milk to a simmer in a med-size saucepan.
- Slowly beat the hot milk into the egg/sugar mixture.
- Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat.
- Stir constantly using a whisk or wooden spoon until the custard thickens slightly (don’t let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble).
- Remove pan from heat and pour the hot custard through a strainer into a large clean bowl.
- Allow the custard to cool slightly, then stir in the mango puree and cream.
- Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight.
- Stir the chilled custard; freeze in batches (if necessary) in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.
