Mango Sorbet
Made with ripe fresh or frozen mangoes, this sorbet relies on the fruit's natural sweetness and needs just a handful of ingredients — mango, sugar syrup, and a squeeze of lime. Churning in an ice cream maker gives it a smooth, scoopable consistency. Allow about 30 minutes of prep plus several hours of freezing time.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Ice Cream Maker
- Freezer-safe container
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mangoes peeled, pitted, and diced
- ½ cup sugar preferably superfine
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice approximately 1 lime
Instructions
- Prepare the Mango Puree: In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mangoes, sugar, water, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy with no visible chunks of mango. The mixture should be vibrant and aromatic.
- Churn the Sorbet: Transfer the mango puree to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the sorbet has a light, fluffy consistency, typically about 15-20 minutes.
- Freeze the Sorbet: Spoon the churned sorbet into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up the texture before serving.
Notes
- For a nicer consistency, using superfine sugar is advised as it dissolves more quickly in the cold mixture.
- If you don't have superfine sugar, regular granulated sugar will work, but consider making the sugar into a simple syrup by dissolving it in the water first.
- Adjust sweetness by tasting the mangoes before adding sugar.
- A dash of coconut milk can add a creamy dimension if desired.
