Description
Sweet, tropical mango blended into a silky-smooth sorbet with a touch of lime — this easy and refreshing frozen dessert is the perfect summer cool-down.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 16 ounces frozen mango
- ¼ to ⅓ cup simple syrup (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Fresh mint sprigs (optional garnish)
- Fresh raspberries (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Make the Sorbet: In a food processor, add frozen mango, cooled simple syrup (start with ¼ cup), and lime juice. Blend for about 3 minutes, scraping the sides as needed, until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if desired.
- Serve or Freeze: Enjoy immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer to a shallow freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap and a lid, then freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour for a firmer texture.
- Garnish (Optional): Serve topped with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Use ripe, frozen mango chunks for the best flavor and texture.
- The simple syrup can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- To make it vegan and refined sugar-free, substitute maple syrup or agave nectar to taste.
