Kitchen Equipment Required
- Blender or Food Processor
- Ice Cream Maker
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Knife
- Cutting Board
Cooking Time
Total estimated time: 3 hours 30 minutes (including chilling and freezing time)
Ingredients
- 900g (2 lbs) ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 120ml (1/2 cup) water
- 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- Juice of 1 lime (about 30ml / 2 tbsp)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mangoes
Start by peeling and dicing the ripe mangoes into chunks. Make sure to remove the pit and any fibrous parts of the fruit.
Step 2: Make the Sugar Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 120ml (1/2 cup) of water with 200g (1 cup) of sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 3: Blend the Ingredients
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mangoes, cooled sugar syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and devoid of any lumps. Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity if necessary.
Step 4: Chill the Mixture
Pour the mango puree into a mixing bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps the flavors to meld and the ice cream maker to function effectively.
Step 5: Churn the Sorbet
Once chilled, transfer the mango mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for churning, typically 20-30 minutes, or until the sorbet reaches a creamy, soft-serve consistency.
Step 6: Freeze the Sorbet
Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the sorbet is firm enough to scoop.
Step 7: Serve
When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of lime for a touch of elegance.
