Vibrant and refreshing with sweet, juicy mango flavor, Mango Sorbet has a luscious texture - the perfect way to savor the bright, exotic taste of fresh mangoes.
Sorbet is my favorite way to really enjoy the pure, natural flavor of fruits. There is no added cream or milk to mellow or dull the flavor. A little lime or lemon juice, a little sugar, and a pinch of salt accentuate the flavors and add a brilliant zing.
The texture of mango flesh makes the most amazing luscious and smooth sorbet. Since they are so naturally sweet, only a small amount of sugar is added. I always add a pinch of salt to sweets, it really brightens the flavor.
Mango Sorbet is easy to make. No sugar syrup is needed if you have the mangoes at room temperature so the sugar can dissolve. Simply puree the mangoes with sugar, lime juice, water, and a few pinches of salt. Chill until cold, then churn in an ice cream machine. Put into a freezer safe container and freeze for 4 hours.

Bună seara spuneti-mi va rog frumos, dacă nu este masina de inghetata se face?
An ice cream machine is used to make this sorbet, but if you don't have one you could try pouring the mixture into a metal cake pan. Put in the freezer and every 30 minutes pull it out and stir it with a fork until the sorbet is firm.
What size of ice cream maker do you use?
Hi Lynn. I use a 1.5 quart ice cream maker.
