Mango Sorbet

This recipe was my inspiration, as I had many mangos ripe at the same time. Trying to reduce white sugar in our house, I made the simple syrup with monk fruit. Proportions are exactly the same as white sugar, but please note I used half the amount of simple syrup the recipe required. The result was phenomenal. Everyone was happily surprised it contained no white sugar. A summer delight!

This turned out great. I used a food processor on accident when I meant to do the blender but oh well. It turned out great and I served it to my parents at dinner with lotus cookies. It was a lot of work cutting the mangos but soooooo worth it. I made it by myself and it was very easy.

Absolutely delicious!

Just delicious! Creamy and velvety smooth - no hint of graininess or iciness, with a beautiful and vibrant color. Delightful and easily identifiable mango flavor simply enhanced with the lime juice - wouldn't have known it was in there had I not made this myself. And because I used a 16 oz. bag of frozen mango chunks (and a half recipe) this was unbelievably fast! I pureed the frozen mango, then added the lime juice and syrup which I had chilled in the freezer and continued to puree until smooth. Because the mixture was pretty much frozen (and spoonable!) before it even hit the ice cream maker, I don't think I even churned it ten minutes before it was done and nearly ready to eat. As for the lime juice and simple syrup, I used the amounts called for in the recipe, scaled down to half the recipe, and found both to be perfect. Definitely a "make again" recipe!

I made this but had to make some alterations because I only had 1 mango, no simple syrup and not enough lime juice. I used 2 bananas to make up for some of the missing mango, as another member suggested...and I used 3/4 cup light corn syrup, as suggested by another member, instead of simple syrup because I didn't have enough sugar to make simple syrup. And I only had 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice. But it still worked fine because this was delicious! I can't wait to experiment with other fruits!
