Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz. frozen mango chunks
  • ¼½ cup agave nectar (can substitute honey or simple syrup)
  • 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice (or lemon juice)
  • 1 tsp. lime zest (or lemon zest)
  • Mint leaves (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the frozen mango chunks, ¼ cup of the sweetener, lime juice, and lime zest into a large food processor or blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes, stopping every 20-30 seconds to scrape down the sides, until the mixture is completely smooth without any fruit chunks. Taste the sorbet, then add sweetener 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition, until you reach your preferred sweetness level.
  2. Transfer and Freeze: Pour the smooth mango mixture into a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly into a flat layer.
  3. Freeze: Place the loaf pan in the freezer and let the sorbet freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.
  4. Serve: Before serving, allow the sorbet to sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop the sorbet into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your refreshing mango sorbet!

Notes

  • You can substitute agave nectar with honey or simple syrup according to your preference.
  • If you don’t have lime, lemon juice and zest are excellent alternatives.
  • For a smoother texture, ensure the mango chunks are frozen solid before blending.
  • This sorbet is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of freezing for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Use a metal loaf pan for faster freezing compared to plastic containers.
