This refreshing Mango Sorbet is a simple, naturally sweet frozen dessert made with ripe mangos, lime juice, and a homemade simple syrup. Perfect for a hot day, it combines fresh fruit flavor with a smooth icy texture, all made easily at home without any ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 pinch salt

Mango Sorbet

  • 3 ripe mangos (about 2 1/2 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

  1. Make simple syrup: In a medium saucepan, heat together the sugar, salt, and water until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. Once dissolved, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare mango: Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the mangos. Cut the flesh away from the large flat white seed in the center and discard the seed and peel. Roughly chop the mango flesh to yield about 3 1/2 to 4 cups.
  3. Blend ingredients: Place the chopped mango, cooled simple syrup, and lime juice into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps remaining.
  4. Freeze sorbet: Pour the smooth mango mixture into a plastic, covered container. Place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours until fully frozen and scoopable. Serve chilled as a refreshing frozen dessert.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet mangos for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • The simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator and used for other recipes.
  • To soften the sorbet before serving, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
  • For a smoother texture, stir the sorbet once or twice during freezing if possible.
  • Adjust lime juice quantity to taste, balancing sweetness and acidity.
