Golden Mango Sorbet Recipe
Introduction
This refreshing mango sorbet is a perfect way to enjoy the tropical sweetness of ripe mangoes in a light, icy treat. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a smooth and vibrant dessert that’s ideal for warm days or as a palate cleanser.
Ingredients
- 3 large, ripe mangoes
- 200g caster sugar
- 1 lime, juiced
- 200ml water
Instructions
- Step 1: Peel the mangoes using a vegetable peeler, then carefully cut the flesh away from the stones. Place the mango flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Step 2: Add the caster sugar, lime juice, and 200ml of water to the blender. Blend for several minutes until the mixture is very smooth and the sugar has completely dissolved. Test by rubbing a small amount between your fingers; if it’s still gritty, blend a little longer.
- Step 3: Pour the smooth mango mixture into a container and freeze for a few hours until partially set.
- Step 4: Remove the semi-frozen sorbet and scrape it back into the blender. If it’s very solid, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. Whizz until it becomes slushy, then return it to the container and freeze for another hour.
- Step 5: Repeat the blending process once more, then freeze the sorbet until fully solid, about one to two hours.
Tips & Variations
- Before scooping, leave the sorbet at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Warm your ice cream scoop in hot water to make serving easier.
- For a creamier texture, blend in a small amount of coconut milk before freezing.
- Add a pinch of chili powder for a spicy mango twist.
Storage
Store the mango sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep well for up to three months. When ready to serve, allow it to soften at room temperature for a few minutes and stir or blend if needed to restore smoothness.

Instructions
- Prepare the mangoes: Peel the mangoes using a vegetable peeler, then carefully cut the flesh away from the stones. Place the mango flesh in a food processor or blender.
- Blend with sugar and lime: Add the caster sugar, lime juice, and 200ml of water to the mango in the blender. Blend for several minutes until the mixture is very smooth and the sugar has completely dissolved. To check, rub a little between your fingers; if it still feels gritty, blend longer.

- Second freezing: Pour the slushy sorbet back into the container and freeze for another hour or so.
- Repeat blending and freezing: Repeat the re-blending and freezing step once more to ensure a smooth texture. Then freeze the sorbet until completely solid, about 1-2 hours.

Notes
- The sorbet will keep covered in the freezer for up to three months.
- Allowing the sorbet to soften slightly before scooping makes serving much easier.
- Warming the ice cream scoop in hot water helps create clean, smooth scoops.
- If the mixture feels gritty after blending, continue blending until the sugar dissolves completely for the smoothest texture.
