Ingredients for Creamy Mango Frozen Yogurt
- Greek Yogurt: Go for full-fat yogurt for the creamiest texture.
- Mango: Fresh ripe mangoes are great, but frozen (and thawed) works too.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Adds sweetness and helps make it smooth and scoopable.
- Lime Juice (optional): A splash of lime brightens up the mango flavor.
- Vanilla Extract (optional): Adds a little warmth and creaminess to the mix.
Fun Variations to Try
- Coconut Mango Froyo: Swap out ½ cup of the Greek yogurt for canned coconut cream.
- Fiesta Mango Kick: Just a pinch of chili wakes up the mango and adds a fiery twist. Pair it with a refreshing Passion Fruit Lemonade to balance the heat
- Berry Mango Swirl: Before freezing, swirl in a few spoonfuls of raspberry or strawberry purée.
- Mango Lime Popsicles: Skip the churn, pour the mix into popsicle molds, and freeze. They’re perfect for kids, backyard snacks, or a grab-and-go treat like these Tropical Kiwi Mango Popsicles.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free yogurt and coconut condensed milk to make it dairy-free.
Keesha’s Tips & Tricks
- Blend It Smooth: A smooth blend makes the yogurt extra creamy and impressive.
- Use What You Have: If I have fresh mango, great. If I only have frozen mango in the back of the freezer, that works too.
- Let It Soften Before Serving: If it’s been in the freezer for a few hours, I take it out about 10 minutes before scooping.
No Ice Cream Maker? No Problem!
You can totally make this without a machine.
- Blend and mix all the ingredients as usual.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container (like a loaf pan).
- Stir every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming. Use a fork or whisk.
- For extra creaminess, give it a quick whip with a hand mixer after the final stir (totally optional).
- Let it sit out for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
What to Serve with Mango Frozen Yogurt
- Fresh Fruit: Add sliced mango, pineapple, or berries on top for extra flavor and color.
- Toasted Coconut: A sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes gives a nice crunch. follow this easy guide on how to toast coconut.
- Mint Leaves: A little fresh mint brightens up each scoop and looks beautiful.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Press parchment or wax paper on top to prevent ice crystals. Let sit 5–10 minutes before scooping.

Creamy Mango Frozen Yogurt
This creamy mango frozen yogurt is a refreshing tropical dessert that's perfect for summer or any time you need a fruity, feel-good treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt
- ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1½ cups ripe mango chunks (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 tbsp lime juice (optional, but brightens the flavor)
- ½ tbsp vanilla extract (optional for creaminess)
Instructions
Ice Cream Maker Instructions
- First, add the mango chunks and lime juice to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and silky.
- For an extra velvety texture, you can strain the mango purée through a fine mesh sieve to catch any fibrous bits.
- Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the mango purée, sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
- Stir everything together until the mixture is thick, creamy, and beautifully golden. It should look like tropical sunshine in a bowl!
- Then, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to your machine’s instructions—typically about 20 to 25 minutes. You’re aiming for a soft-serve consistency that’s smooth and airy.
- Finally, enjoy it right away for a soft and creamy texture, or scoop the frozen yogurt into an airtight container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours.
- Once set, it becomes perfectly scoopable and ideal for cones, cups, or pairing with fresh fruit.
No-Machine Instructions
- Prepare the recipe just like above — blend the mango with lime, then mix it with the yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, like a loaf pan or shallow glass dish.
- For the first 2–3 hours, stir the mixture every 30 minutes using a fork or whisk. This helps break up any ice crystals and keeps the texture light and creamy.
- If you want it extra smooth, give the mixture a quick whip with a hand mixer once it’s semi-frozen (after about 2 hours).
- Cover and freeze for another hour or two until fully set. Before serving, let it sit out for 5–10 minutes so it’s perfectly scoopable.
