Vegan Mango Coconut Bowls (Printable Version)

Creamy mango and coconut frozen bowls topped with toasted oats; a fresh and wholesome summer delight.

# What You'll Need:

→ Mango Coconut Ice Cream

01 - 3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (approximately 3 cups)
02 - 1 can (13.5 fl oz) full-fat coconut milk, well-shaken
03 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
05 - Pinch of salt

→ Toasted Oats

06 - 1/2 cup rolled oats, certified gluten-free if needed
07 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
08 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil
09 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
10 - Pinch of ground cinnamon
11 - Pinch of salt

→ Serving

12 - Fresh mango slices for garnish
13 - Fresh mint leaves, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine diced mango, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and transfer to a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every hour for optimal creaminess. Alternatively, use an ice cream maker following manufacturer's instructions.
02 - Heat coconut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add rolled oats and shredded coconut, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with cinnamon and salt, then cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until crisp. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool completely.
03 - Scoop the frozen mango coconut mixture into serving bowls. Top generously with toasted oats, fresh mango slices, and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No ice cream maker required, though if you have one, it makes life even easier.
  • The toasted oats add that satisfying crunch that keeps you coming back for more spoonfuls.
  • Naturally vegan and gluten-free without any weird substitutions or missing richness.
02 -
  • Stirring every hour really does make the difference between grainy and creamy—set a phone reminder if you'll forget.
  • Don't let those oats toast longer than five minutes or they'll taste bitter instead of toasty sweet.
03 -
  • A squeeze of lime juice in the ice cream base adds complexity without making it taste citrusy, just more interesting.
  • If your coconut milk is separated with thick cream on top, don't shake it—scoop that cream out first and blend it separately for an even richer texture.
