Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Sweetener and Liquids
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruits: Peel and dice the mangoes into small pieces. Hull and slice the strawberries to prepare them for blending.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the diced mangoes, sliced strawberries, sugar, water, and lime juice (if using) into a blender or food processor for even mixing.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no fruit chunks remain.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the sorbet base and adjust the sweetness or add more lime juice if desired. Blend briefly again to mix any additional ingredients well.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and cover it tightly with an airtight lid or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
- Freeze and Stir: Freeze for 4 to 6 hours. Every couple of hours, stir the sorbet with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals and improve the texture.
- Serve: When fully frozen, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, stir the sorbet every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours of freezing.
- Adjust the sugar amount to your preferred sweetness, especially if the fruit is very ripe.
- Lime juice is optional but adds a nice tang and helps balance the sweetness.
- This sorbet is best consumed within 1 week of freezing.
- You can substitute sugar with honey or agave syrup, but this may alter flavor and texture slightly.
