Vegan Mango Coconut Bowls (Printer View)

Creamy vegan mango coconut bowls with crunchy toasted oats for a light, tropical indulgence.

# 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

→ For Serving

12 - Fresh mango slices
13 - Fresh mint leaves (optional)

# Method:

01 - Combine diced mango, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a blender. Process until completely smooth. Transfer mixture to a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every hour for optimal creaminess. Alternatively, use an ice cream maker following manufacturer 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 and sprinkle with cinnamon and salt. Cook for 1 to 2 additional minutes until crisp. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool completely.
03 - Scoop frozen mango coconut mixture into serving bowls. Top generously with toasted oat mixture, fresh mango slices, and mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you've been to the tropics, but it's ready in just 15 minutes of hands-on work.
  • No ice cream maker needed—though if you have one, it makes life easier.
  • The toasted oat topping adds this satisfying textural moment that keeps you coming back for another spoonful.
02 -
  • Frozen mango chunks freeze better than fresh dice—if you have time, prep and freeze your mango the night before for even smoother results.
  • Stir the ice cream every hour without fail; skipping this step means you'll end up with an icy block instead of that dreamy texture.
03 -
  • If your mango isn't ripe enough, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup and the blender will still create magic—ripeness matters less than people think.
  • Toast your oats in a low pan with your eyes on them; they go from golden to burnt in about 30 seconds.
