Scale
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 cut the flesh away from the stone as much as possible. Place the mango flesh into a food processor or blender.
- Blend the mixture: Add the caster sugar, lime juice, and 200ml water to the mangoes. Blend for several minutes until the mixture is very smooth and the sugar has completely dissolved. Check the texture by rubbing a small amount between your fingers; if gritty, blend longer.
- Initial freezing: Pour the smooth mango mixture into a container and place it in the freezer for a few hours until it begins to set.
- First re-blending: Remove the partially frozen sorbet from the freezer. If very solid, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Then scrape it back into the blender and blend until you achieve a slushy consistency.
- Second freezing: Pour the slushy mixture back into the container and freeze for about one hour to firm up.
- Final re-blending and freezing: Repeat the blending process by scraping the sorbet back into the blender, blending to a smooth texture, then freeze until solid, about one to two hours.
- Storage and serving tips: The sorbet can be stored covered in the freezer for up to three months. Before serving, leave it at room temperature for 5-10 minutes and warm your ice cream scoop in hot water to make scooping easier.
Notes
- For smoothest texture, ensure the sugar is fully dissolved before freezing.
- Allow the sorbet to soften slightly at room temperature before scooping for easier portioning.
- Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Warm the ice cream scoop in hot water to help with scooping.
- This sorbet is dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
