Notes
You can make this dessert slightly in advance and store it in the freezer for about thirty minutes before serving, although note that the ice cream and mango puree will freeze into a hard block if left in the freezer for several hours.
Try to make sure that the mango you use for this recipe is very ripe and sweet. You can save some of the mango flesh and use as a topping with the pomegranate seeds, if desired.
