Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Additional
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: Peel and dice the mangoes into small pieces, then hull and slice the strawberries to prepare them for blending.
- Combine ingredients: Place the diced mangoes, sliced strawberries, sugar, water, and lime juice (if using) into a blender or food processor.
- Blend mixture: Blend until the ingredients form a completely smooth and creamy consistency without any chunks.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice if needed. Blend briefly again to combine evenly.
- Freeze the sorbet base: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and cover it airtight to prevent freezer burn.
- Freeze and stir: Freeze for 4 to 6 hours, stirring every couple of hours to break up ice crystals and ensure a smoother sorbet texture.
- Serve: Once fully frozen, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and serve.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Stirring the sorbet every couple of hours prevents large ice crystals and gives a creamier texture.
- Lime juice is optional but adds a refreshing tang and balances the sweetness.
- This recipe does not require an ice cream maker; manual stirring works well.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
