  • Beat together the egg yolks ,4 tbsp sugar and 1 cup thick cream  in a mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Heat the milk,remaining 4 tbsp sugar and 1 cup cream until it is almost boiling, over low heat.
  • Gradually pour the hot milk and cream mixture on to the egg mixture,whisking as you do so.
  • Return the mixture into a saucepan and cook,stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the custard mixture thickens sufficiently to thinly coat the back of the spoon.
  • Transfer the mixture to a wide container .Allow it to cool well .
  • Cover and place the container in the refrigerator to chill for 30-40 minutes.
  • Once it is cold add the mango puree and mix well and put it into the freezer for 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Take the container out ,now it should have just started freezing from the outside edges.
