Vibrant Mango Sorbet Lime (Printable)

A silky mango sorbet with fresh lime, perfect for a refreshing summer treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (approximately 2 pounds)
02 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

→ Sweetener

03 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

→ Liquid

04 - 1/2 cup water

→ Optional

05 - Pinch of salt

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place diced mango, lime juice, sugar, water, and salt into a blender or food processor.
02 - Blend mixture until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
03 - Taste mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice to preference.
04 - Pour mixture through fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove fibers for extra smoothness.
05 - Transfer mixture to ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until thick and creamy, approximately 20-25 minutes.
06 - If ice cream maker unavailable, pour mixture into shallow freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring vigorously with fork every 30 minutes until set and fluffy, approximately 4 hours.
07 - Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately, or freeze in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like summer distilled into a single spoonful, no ice cream maker required if you've got determination and a fork.
  • You control every bit of sweetness, so no waxy supermarket aftertaste hiding in the background.
  • It comes together in minutes, but feels like you've been working magic.
02 -
  • Don't skip tasting before you freeze because once it's solid, adjusting sweetness or lime becomes complicated; trust your palate now.
  • If you're hand-freezing without an ice cream maker, the vigorous stirring every 30 minutes is what separates scoopable sorbet from a solid popsicle, so set a timer and don't skip it.
03 -
  • Freeze your blender bowl or food processor bowl for 15 minutes before blending if you can; cold equipment keeps the mixture from warming up, which helps the final texture.
  • The sieve step feels optional until you hit that one stringy bit of mango fiber in an otherwise perfect spoonful, so consider it essential if you care about texture.
