Step 1: Place the diced mangoes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of mango purée.
Step 2: Add the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lime juice (if using) to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup.
Step 4: If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to firm up.
Step 5: If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals until the ice cream is creamy and frozen solid.
Step 6: When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
