Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 16 oz. frozen mango chunks
- ¼-½ cup agave nectar (or honey, or simple syrup*)
- 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 1 tsp. grated lime zest (or lemon zest)
Optional
- Mint sprigs for serving
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients: Add the frozen mango chunks, ¼ cup of the sweetener of your choice, lime juice, and lime zest into a large food processor or blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides every 20-30 seconds to ensure everything is well incorporated and smooth. If desired sweetness is not reached, add additional sweetener 1 tablespoon at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition until it tastes just right.
- Prepare for freezing: Transfer the smooth mango mixture into a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread the sorbet mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan to create a uniform layer.
- Freeze the sorbet: Place the loaf pan in the freezer and allow the sorbet to freeze for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to firm up completely.
- Serve: Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs if desired. Enjoy your refreshing homemade mango sorbet!
Notes
- You can substitute agave nectar with honey or simple syrup depending on your preference.
- Using a metal loaf pan helps the sorbet freeze evenly and makes it easier to scoop.
- For a smoother texture, blend longer and scrape the sides well to avoid chunks.
- The sorbet keeps well in the freezer for up to one week.
- Feel free to experiment with citrus zest and juice to add unique flavor twists.
