Notes
- Fresh Mango Peeling: For fresh mangoes, slice off both "cheeks" (the fleshy sides avoiding the pit). Score the flesh of each cheek in a cross-hatch pattern, being careful not to cut through the skin. Then, invert the cheek so the cubes pop out, and simply slice them off.
- Soften Frozen Mango: Let your frozen mango chunks sit out for about 30 minutes before blending. This makes them easier to process and helps achieve a smoother consistency.
- Use a Food Processor: A food processor will generally create a smoother sorbet texture than a blender when working with frozen fruit.
- Maximize Lime Juice: To get the most juice from your limes, microwave them for about 30 seconds each, then roll them firmly on your counter before squeezing.
- Taste and Adjust Sweetness: After blending, taste the mixture. Mangoes vary in sweetness, so you might want to add a little more honey or sugar if your mangoes aren't very sweet.
