Ingredients
- 4 heaping cups frozen mango (~two 10-oz bags)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the mango: Place the frozen mango chunks into a food processor and pulse repeatedly until the mango breaks down into small shreds. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even processing.
- Add sweetener and lime: Once the mango is shredded, add the maple syrup and fresh lime juice to the food processor. Continue to blend, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture starts to become smooth and creamy.
- Achieve creamy texture: When there are very few visible mango pieces left, keep the food processor running for at least one more minute. This extended blending helps achieve a creamy sorbet-like consistency without any churner.
- Serve or freeze: You can enjoy the sorbet immediately as a soft-serve style treat. For a firmer texture, transfer the sorbet to a sealed container and freeze for 2-3 hours. Before serving after freezing, allow it to thaw for about 10-15 minutes to make scooping easy.
- Storage: Store any leftover sorbet in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Using ripe frozen mango enhances natural sweetness and creaminess.
- Adjust maple syrup amount to taste depending on mango sweetness.
- Lime juice adds a nice tang but can be reduced if a sweeter sorbet is preferred.
- Processing time is key to achieving the perfect sorbet texture without an ice cream maker.
- Allow frozen sorbet to thaw slightly before scooping for best results.
