Ingredients:
- 4 cups ripe mango flesh, diced (about 4-5 medium mangoes)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
- Zest of 1 lime (optional)
- Pinch of salt
How to Make Mango Sorbet:
Prepare the Mango:
Peel and dice the ripe mangoes, discarding the pit. You should have about 4 cups of diced mango flesh.
Make Simple Syrup:
In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.
Blend the Mango Mixture:
In a blender or food processor, combine diced mango flesh, cooled simple syrup, fresh lime juice, lime zest (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or lime juice if desired.
Chill the Mixture:
Transfer the mango mixture to a bowl or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Churn in Ice Cream Maker:
Once chilled, pour the mango mixture into the bowl of an ice cream maker.
Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency, typically about 20-25 minutes.
Freeze the Sorbet:
Transfer the churned sorbet into a freezer-safe container.
Smooth the top with a spatula, cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serve and Enjoy:
Scoop Mango Sorbet into bowls or cones.
Garnish with fresh mango slices, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of lime zest if desired.
Chef’s Note:
Ripe Mangoes: Choose mangoes that are ripe and fragrant for the best flavor. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure when ripe.
Texture: The sorbet will firm up more as it freezes. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if it becomes too hard.
Variations: Experiment with adding a splash of rum or coconut milk for a different twist on flavor.
