Propitious Mango ice cream is a specialty mango-flavored ice cream from China that became viral on TikTok known for its rich, creamy texture and aesthetic appearance.[1][2]
History
[edit]It is made by Hong Qi and became viral in 2024.[3]
Description
[edit]The Propitious Mango ice cream appears like a mango fruit and is on a wooden stick.[2] It has a thin, crunchy white-chocolate coating.[2][4] The ice cream inside is creamy and like mousse or sorbet with the flavor of mango.[2][4] It is packaged in plastic domes.[4] It does not contain any real mango.[4]
Availability and pricing
[edit]Due to its internet virality, it made it more challenging to obtain internationally.[1][4][5][6] In the United States, it is primarily found in Asian supermarkets, including 99 Ranch Market, San Bruno Supermarket, and Rong Cheng Inc.[1] 99 Ranch Market has carried the ice cream since 2022.[1] In Canada, it could be found in T&T Supermarket.[1] In Australia, several Asian grocery markets, such as Gong Grocer, carried the ice cream as well.[5] Some stores struggled to meet consumer demand and some created waitlists.[1]
In 2024–2025, prices ranged from $3.29 to $6 USD for a single ice cream to $11.99 for a three-pack.[1][2]
Variations
[edit]Other variations have been created such as peach and lemon.[1][4][5] They similarly appear and are flavored like a peach and lemon, respectively.[5] The peach ice cream is made by Tao Qi and went viral in 2022.[7]
