PREPARATION
- Blend The Mango: Place the frozen mango chunks in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mango begins to break down and form a creamy texture.
- Add Lime Juice And Sweetener: Once the mango is mostly smooth, add the lime juice and 1 tsp of honey or agave syrup. Blend again to combine all the flavours evenly, adjusting sweetness as needed.
- Serve Immediately Or Freeze: If you like soft-serve sorbet, serve it immediately. Transfer the mixture into a container for a firmer texture and freeze for 30-60 minutes before serving.

TIPS
These tips are followed for the preparation of Mango Sorbet:
- Use Ripe Frozen Mango: Make sure to use ripe mango chunks for the best flavour and sweetness. You can freeze your ripe mango at home for a fresher option.
- Adjust Sweetness To Taste: Depending on how ripe your mango is, you may need more or less sweetener. Start with 1 tsp and adjust as needed.
- Add More Lime For A Tangier Sorbet: Increasing the lime juice to 1½ or 2 tbsp if you prefer a more pronounced tartness. This will enhance the contrast with the mango’s sweetness.
- For A Smoother Texture: If you prefer a perfectly smooth sorbet, blend for longer or pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits.
VARIATIONS
- Add A Tropical Twist: Blend in a few pineapple chunks or a splash of coconut milk for a more tropical flavour profile.
- Vegan Option: Stick to agave syrup instead of honey to keep the sorbet vegan.
- Spicy Mango Sorbet: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chilli powder for a spicy kick that complements the sweetness of the mango.
- Boost Fibre And Vitamins: Blend in a handful of spinach or kale. The flavour remains fruity, but it adds extra nutrients.
- Alcohol-Infused Version: For an adult-friendly version, add a splash of rum or tequila before freezing for a tropical cocktail sorbet.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- In The Fridge: This sorbet should be enjoyed fresh or frozen. It will start to melt if stored in the fridge, so freeze any leftovers.
- Freezing: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. If the sorbet becomes too firm, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
