Ingredients
- 3 large, ripe mangoes
- 200g caster sugar
- 1 lime, juiced
- 200ml water
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.
- Initial freezing: Pour the mango mixture into a container and place it in the freezer for a few hours until it begins to set.
- First re-blend: Once the mixture is partially frozen, scrape the sorbet back into the blender. If it’s very solid, leave it at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften before blending. Whizz it until you achieve a slushy consistency.
- 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.
- Serving tip: Before scooping the sorbet, leave it at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Warm your ice cream scoop in hot water to make scooping easier.
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.
