Instructions

  1. In a high speed blender, puree the mangoes until smooth.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the mango puree, coconut cream, coconut milk, and honey. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in cardamom powder. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze until firm.
  5. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate with coconut oil. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to create a smooth ganache. Allow to cool slightly but keep it liquid.
