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:

  1. Peel, pit, and cube the mangoes. Ensure they are ripe for maximum sweetness and creamy texture.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
