Ingredients:
- 2 large ripe mangoes (approximately 700g / 1.5 lbs), peeled, pitted, and cubed
- ½ cup (120ml) water
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
- Peel, pit, and cube the mangoes. Ensure they are ripe for maximum sweetness and creamy texture.
- Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Simmer for 1 minute to ensure complete dissolution. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cubed mangoes, cooled simple syrup, lime juice, and salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust lime if needed.
- Pour the blended mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the sorbet to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid.
- Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Scoop into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with mint or lime, if desired.
