Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe mango chunks fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup sugar

  • 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • Pinch of salt
Optional: 1–2 tbsp coconut milk for extra creaminess

Method
 

  1. Prepare the mango
  2. Peel and cut fresh mango into chunks, or thaw frozen mango slightly so it blends easily.
  3. Make the simple syrup
  4. In a small pot, heat sugar and water over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Let it cool completely.
  5. Blend everything
  6. Add mango chunks, cooled syrup, lime juice, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth and silky.
  7. Chill the puree
  8. Pour the mango mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  9. Freeze the sorbet
  10. With ice cream maker: Churn according to your machine’s instructions, then freeze for 2–3 hours.
  11. Without ice cream maker: Pour into a shallow dish, freeze for 1 hour, stir with a fork, and repeat every 30 minutes until firm.
  12. Serve and enjoy
  13. Scoop into bowls or glasses, garnish with mint or fresh fruit if you like.

Notes

  • Taste the blended mixture before freezing. Adjust the sugar or lime juice until it’s just right for you.
  • Use fully ripe mangoes for the sweetest and most flavorful sorbet.
  • Store in an airtight container with a piece of parchment or plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent ice crystals.
