Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) mango, frozen
- ½ cup (170 g) honey
- ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice
- 1 lemon zest
Instructions
- Preparation: Pulse frozen mango chunks in a food processor until achieving a smooth, lump-free puree.
- Flavor Enhancement: Incorporate honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the mango mixture, blending thoroughly to create a harmonious tropical flavor profile.
- Freezing Process: Transfer the mixture into a rectangular glass container, spreading evenly and sealing with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystal formation.
- Chilling: Position the container in the freezer’s coldest section, allowing the sorbet to solidify and develop its intense mango essence for 5-6 hours.
- Serving: Remove from freezer, let rest briefly at room temperature to soften. Scoop using a chilled ice cream scoop into pre-chilled serving glasses.
- Finishing Touch: Optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves or a delicate lemon twist to elevate the presentation and add a subtle aromatic note.
- Enjoyment: Serve immediately to savor the pure, refreshing tropical flavors of this homemade mango sorbet.
Notes
- Mango Selection Matters: Choose ultra-ripe, deeply golden mangoes for maximum sweetness and intense tropical flavor.
- Prevent Ice Crystals: Always wrap container tightly with plastic wrap to block air exposure and maintain silky smooth texture.
- Softening Technique: Allow sorbet to rest 2-3 minutes at room temperature before scooping to achieve perfect, creamy consistency.
- Storage Smart: Store in airtight container for up to one week, placing plastic wrap directly on sorbet surface to prevent freezer burn.
