Tropical Mango Coconut Felato (Dairy-Free Gelato-Style Treat)

Author: Maika
This Mango Coconut Felato is a tropical, dairy-free frozen dessert made with fresh mango purée, Thai coconut cream, blue agave, and a splash of lime and vanilla (or rum). Inspired by the creamy texture of Italian gelato and blended with Caribbean flavors, it’s the perfect Ninja Creami treat for summer or anytime you’re dreaming cool getaway. Smooth, fruity, and naturally vegan this recipe yields two pints of paradtropical paradise in a bowl.

Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups fresh mango purée (rom ripe mangoes
  • ¾ cup Thai coconut cream
  • 3 tablespoons blue agave syrup adjust to taste
  • 1 lime for juice and zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 2 teaspoon dark rum ( I used both, totally 1 tsp)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (just a pinch)

Equipment

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl or blender, combine all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  • Divide the mixture between two Ninja Creami pints, filling each to the max fill line.
  • Freeze flat for 24 hours.
  • Spin each pint using the Lite Ice Cream or Sorbet function. If crumbly, re-spin or add 1 tablespoon coconut cream to the center and spin again.

Notes

Recommendations

I highly recommend using the Aroy-D Coconut Cream. It's high-quality from a trusted Thai brand.

Servings

The original recipe will make 2 pints, and that's about 8 small servings or 4 generous ones.  And remember, each serving is about ½ cup if you’re sharing modestly, or 1 cup if you’re going full-on tropical indulgence. Enjoy!

Preparation

Blending everything before freezing will help give this the creamiest texture. The coconut cream gives it that luxurious gelato mouthfeel—no milk needed!

Optional Toppings

  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Lime zest
  • Chopped pineapple or mango
  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Tajín or chili-lime seasoning (for a sweet-heat contrast)
