    Ingredients

    Use either fresh or frozen mangos. Frozen mango chunks are usually inexpensive and save a ton of time removing seeds and skin. Use whatever honey you have access to, but local honey is the healthiest choice.

    frozen mango chunks in a bowl, honey in a small bowl, and two limes halved.
    • Fresh or frozen mango chunks.
    • Honey - pure and local is best.
    • Limes - you will want to soften them to get as much juice out as possible. I'll cover that process in the tutorial below.

    Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    How to Make Mango Sorbet

    A food processor works much better than a blender. Let your frozen mango chunks soften for about 30 minutes. If you are using a blender, let them soften about 45 minutes, as they need to be a bit softer in blenders (unless you have a Vitamix!).

    Prepare the limes for squeezing by microwaving them for about 30 seconds each. This will loosen them up. Then roll them with the palm of your hand on your kitchen counter. They will release a lot more juice this way.

    Step 1. Squeeze the limes

    Juice your limes and put the juice in the food processor with your mango chunks, fresh or frozen.

    Blend the mango sorbet with the honey now. Pulse lightly at first, and scrape down the sides.

    Full ingredient amounts and preparation instructions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Step 2. Pulse and Puree

    Go ahead and puree now. Make sure all the lumps are gone and you have a smooth texture.

    Serving Suggestions

    This fabulous sugar free sorbet is a refreshing treat, any time of the year. Use this mango sorbet in place of ice cream, sherbet, or gelato. It's a great dessert on a hot summer day. It pairs well with our 30 Minute Bourbon Chicken Skillet or our Chicken Mozambique. Both are quick dinners to accompany your dessert!

    Substitutions

    This mango sorbet is naturally dairy and egg free. To make it vegan, simply omit the honey. Substitute it with maple syrup or orange juice.

    Since sorbet can be made with almost any fruit, you can substitute the mango for pineapple, or berries, or blend them with the mango. I have a few suggestions in the variations section.

    Variations

    Giving the visitor ideas on how they can change this recipe to better suit their dinner guests, or their cultural cuisine, is a great way to increase the chances they make the recipe

    • Mango Vegan Sorbet - Omit the honey and use orange juice or a little sugar if the mangos are too tart by themselves.
    • Blueberry Mango Sorbet - After pureeing the mango, gently fold in some fresh blueberries.
    • Mixed Berries Sorbet - Puree a blend of strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries for delicious mixed berry sorbet.

    Equipment

    You will need a food processor or heavy duty blender to make sorbet. Great options are:

    • Cuisanart Food Processor

    Storage

    Store your sorbet in a covered container in your freezer. It will keep (if you don't eat it first) for a month easily. As with any frozen dessert, ice crystals will form during storage though, so enjoy it at it's best.

    Tips for Success

    If using fresh mangos, the trick to slicing them is to stand them on one edge. With a knife, slice down one side of the flat seed in the middle. Then repeat for the other side.

    Score the mango fruit with the knife and then turn the halves 'inside out'. The fruit will stand up in chunks on the skin and you can easily peel or slice them off.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is sorbet dairy free?

    Yes, sorbet by definition uses NO dairy products when made.

    What is the difference sorbet vs ice cream?

    Sorbet is simply fruit, water or juice, and sometimes sugar, honey, or syrup. Ice cream is a cream, milk, and egg based dessert.

    What is the difference between gelato vs sorbet?

    Gelato is a dairy and egg based dessert. It is actually richer than ice cream. Sorbet on the other hand is pure fruit, juice, and sometimes a sweetener. No dairy what so ever.

    What is the difference between sorbet vs sherbet?

    Sherbet is made with fruit and water, but unlike sorbet, it has the addition of milk or cream. Sherbet is in the middle between Ice Cream and Sorbet.

    Is sorbet vegan?

    Yes, the process of making sorbet excludes all animal products. Instead of Honey, use orange juice or sugar if the mango is too tart on it's own.
