Ingredients

  • 3 cups ripe mango chunks fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice about 1 lime
  • 2 –3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey adjust to taste
  • Optional: a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor

Instructions

  • Prepare the mangoes: If using fresh mangoes, peel, pit, and chop them into chunks. Measure about 3 cups. If using frozen mango, let it thaw slightly to make blending easier.
  • Blend everything: In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the mango chunks, lime juice, and sweetener. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime if needed.
  • Freeze the mixture: Pour the mango purée into a shallow freezer-safe container. Spread it evenly and cover with a lid or plastic wrap.
  • Freeze until firm: Freeze for 4–6 hours or overnight, until the mixture is fully solid.
  • Serve: Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping. Use a warm scoop for smoother servings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes: The riper the mango, the sweeter and creamier your sorbet will be.
  • Don’t skip the lime juice: It enhances the mango’s flavor and adds brightness.
  • Strain if needed: If your mango purée has stringy bits, strain it before freezing for smoother texture.
  • Use frozen mango for instant sorbet: Blend frozen mango with lime and sweetener for a soft-serve texture you can eat right away.
