Ingredients
- Fresh ripe mangoes
- 4 cups, diced
- Lime juice
- 1/4 cup, freshly squeezed
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Water
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and dicing the ripe mangoes, ensuring to remove any fibrous parts.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mangoes, freshly squeezed lime juice, granulated sugar, and water.
- Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, scraping down the sides as needed.
- For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits.
- Pour the mango mixture into a shallow dish for freezing or into an ice cream maker if you have one.
- If using a shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Stir every hour for the first couple of hours to ensure an even texture.
- If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn and freeze the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Once frozen, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
- Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and garnish with a lime wedge or mint leaves if desired.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of coconut milk to the mixture.
- You can substitute mango with other fruits like strawberries or peaches for different flavors.
- Experiment with adding a pinch of chili powder or fresh mint for an exciting twist!
