History

It is made by Hong Qi and became viral in 2024. [3]

Description

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

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

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]
