First prepare the custard - Boil 1/2 litre milk. Mix the custard powder into the extra 1/4 cup of cold milk. Mix well to remove all lumps. Add this & sugar to the boiling milk & cook on medium-low heat for 5-10 mins. Remove from heat & cool completely.

Add the pulp from 3 mangoes, whipping cream & condensed milk to the mango custard. Beat well with an electric hand blender till frothy...approx 5 mins. Pour into a container, cover with an airtight lid & freeze.

After 2 hrs of freezing, remove & beat with the electric blender again to remove all ice crystals. Continue to repeat this process for 3-4 times till the mixture starts to feel creamy.

After beating well for the last time, you can also add 1 cup of finely chopped mango pieces to the icecream.

Freeze until required.
