Description
Refreshing mango sorbet offers a tropical escape with minimal ingredients and simple preparation. Cool, smooth spoonfuls transport you to Caribbean beaches with sweet, tangy flavors that delight the palate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (567 g / 20 oz) frozen mango
- ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) maple syrup
- 2 tbsps (30 ml / 1 fl oz) fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Pulverize Fruit: Utilize a food processor to transform frozen mango chunks into ultra-fine, powdery fragments through strategic pulsing, ensuring a uniform, granular texture.
- Flavor Fusion: Integrate maple syrup and lime juice into the mango particles, blending thoroughly to create a harmonious and vibrant flavor profile that elevates the sorbet’s taste dimension.
- Texture Refinement: Process the mixture continuously, intermittently scraping processor walls to develop a silky-smooth consistency, eliminating any remaining fruit chunks and creating a luxurious, creamy composition.
- Serving Preparation: Transfer the sorbet to a chilled container, selecting between two serving options – immediate consumption with a soft, spoonable texture or freezing for 2-3 hours to achieve a more structured, firm consistency.
- Storage and Serving Technique: When preserving the sorbet for extended periods, allow 10-15 minutes of gentle thawing prior to serving, which restores its optimal scoopable texture and prevents potential ice crystallization.
Notes
- Pulse with Precision: Use short, quick pulses in the food processor to break down frozen mango chunks evenly without overheating or melting the fruit.
- Balance Liquid Ingredients: Add maple syrup and lime juice gradually to control sorbet’s sweetness and tanginess, ensuring smooth integration.
- Scrape for Smoothness: Pause blending periodically to scrape processor walls, guaranteeing uniform texture without lumpy or unprocessed mango pieces.
- Thaw Strategically: Let sorbet sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to achieve perfect scoopable consistency and prevent rock-hard freezing.
