Mango Strawberry Sorbet (Printable)

Vibrant tropical mango and tangy strawberry frozen treat perfect for summer days.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 ½ cups)
02 - 1 cup ripe strawberries, hulled and halved

→ Sweetener

03 - ½ cup granulated sugar (or maple syrup for vegan option)

→ Liquids

04 - ½ cup water
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

# How To Make It:

01 - Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently while stirring until sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool to room temperature before using.
02 - Add mango, strawberries, cooled simple syrup, and lime juice to blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.
03 - Taste the blended mixture and adjust sweetness with additional sugar or acidity with more lime juice as needed. Blend briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
04 - Pour mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and place in freezer for 1 hour to begin setting process.
05 - Remove container from freezer. Use a fork to vigorously stir mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that have formed. Return to freezer immediately.
06 - Continue removing sorbet from freezer every 30 minutes and stirring with fork to break up crystals. Repeat this process for 2–3 hours until sorbet is firm and smooth throughout.
07 - Let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping. Scoop into chilled bowls or serving dishes.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No ice cream maker required, just a fork and some patience
  • The combination hits every note, sweet tart and tropical all at once
02 -
  • Using frozen fruit from the start cuts the freezing time in half, though the texture is slightly more icy than fresh
  • That stirring step seems tedious but skipping it leaves you with a solid frozen block instead of scoopable sorbet
03 -
  • Freeze your serving bowls for 15 minutes before dishing up to keep the sorbet from melting too fast
  • Run your ice cream scoop under hot water between scoops for picture perfect rounds
