Last week I promised a taste treat made from the gorgeous golden mangoes dropping into my front yard. How about mango sorbet?!
A taste of the tropics straight from your freezer is just what this summer ordered. Sorbets are a great option for light, refreshing desserts that suit all ages & especially cater to those who choose a lactose-free diet. Me, I just make sorbet because I’ve got an abundance of mangoes that we can’t possibly eat before they over ripen & a serious crush on my ice cream maker. My husband doesn’t mind one bit.
If you can plug in a blender, you can make this recipe. It’s really that easy. Some of you might be a little unfamiliar with the anatomy of the mango, so here’s a helpful photo tutorial by Jaden Hair about how to chop a mango & get the most fruit possible. Aside from the fact that I generally serve mangoes skin-intact, this is the technique that I use too.
- 4 c. peeled mango cubes
- ⅓ c. sugar
- 3 T. lemon or lime juice
- pinch salt
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Refrigerate until well-chilled and churn according to your ice cream makers' instructions. Freeze until solid or enjoy straight from the ice cream maker as a soft serve sorbet.

Oh, I so wish we had a mango tree. This sounds so yummy. I’m going to give it a try next time mangos are on sale.
Nicolette, if you can’t find good quality mangoes, try the sorbet with peaches. It would be just as delicious!
Oh that sound wonderful!
Gee, thanks, Katie! My husband sure is devouring it. Honestly, I love fresh mangoes so much that I’d rather eat the fruit whole rather than bother getting out a bowl and the ice cream scoop. Have a super weekend.
Mmmm, that sounds so delicious!
Sounds wonderful. Think I could do the same thing with Peaches? Pinned! Thanks for sharing on Two Cup Tuesday!
Hope you love it, Karyn! I certainly can’t get enough fresh fruit this season, and the mango just doesn’t seem to stop. It’s quite lovely.
