Instructions
- Begin by peeling and dicing the ripe mangoes. You should have about 4 cups of diced mango.
- In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, fresh lime juice, granulated sugar, and water.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
- Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually about 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer the sorbet to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm.
- To serve, scoop the mango and lime sorbet into bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of elegance and flavor.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk during blending.
- You can substitute lime juice with lemon juice for a different citrus twist.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze. Stir every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals.
