I can’t remember how old I was when I had my first taste of Magnolia ice cream, but I was pretty young. We were visiting my family in the Philippines, and I remember my mom telling me that I would like these exotic ice cream flavors like macapuno (coconut), ube (purple yam), and mango. As per usual, Mom was right — while definitely not the chocolate and vanilla I was used to in the U.S., these tropical flavors quickly became a favorite. Sometimes I can find Magnolia ice cream here in the Dallas area, but the other day I came into a case of mangoes and realized I could make my own at home. Here, the luscious sweetness of mango gets cool and creamy, perfect for a hot summer’s day.
