Mango Ice Cream

Ingredients
400 g packet frozen mango (if fresh mango is available, it is preferable)
300 ml. cream
1/2 C. caster sugar
1/4 C. mango or apricot nectar
mango slices and fresh mint sprigs, to garnish

Directions
Defrost the mango until it is soft enough to mash but still icy. If fresh, puree the flesh of 3-4 large ones in a food processor. Place the mango in a medium bowl and add the sugar and nectar. Stir for 1-2 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Beat the cream in a small bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the cream through the mango mixture. Spoon the mixture into a lamington tray; cover and freeze for about 1 1/2 hours or until half-frozen. Quickly spoon the mixture into a food processor bowl. Process for 30 seconds or until smooth. Return to the tray or plastic container; cover and freeze completely. Remove the ice cream from the freezer for 15 minutes before serving, to allow it to soften a little. Serve the ice cream in scoops with mango slices and sprigs of mint. Note: Storage time: Freeze the ice cream for at least eight hours before serving; can be kept frozen up to three weeks.
