Ingredients
- Ripe mangoes
- 4 large, peeled and diced
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (adjust based on the sweetness of the mangoes)
- Water
- 1/2 cup
- Fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup
- Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon (optional for added flavor)
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and dicing the ripe mangoes, ensuring they are sweet and juicy for the best flavor.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mangoes, lime juice, sugar, water, and lime zest (if using).
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, making sure there are no chunks of mango remaining.
- Pour the mango mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the sorbet to a lidded container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm and scoopable.
- When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
- Serve the mango sorbet in bowls or cones, and savor this refreshing treat on a warm day!
Tips
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk before blending.
- If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, taste the mixture before freezing and adjust the sugar as needed.
- Experiment with adding other tropical fruits like pineapple or passion fruit for a fruity twist.
