Mango Sorbet

This recipe originally began its life in my kitchen as my daughters French cultural project.  She claimed that she was making a French dessert with mangoes.  I wondered, what French dessert was made with mangoes?  Upon research, I found this French Sorbet recipe being used throughout French Caribbean.  It’s also healthy.  I know it’s not quite the season for ice cream and sorbet, but if you’re a lover of Mangoes, this is definitely a recipe to try.  All you need is 4 ingredients and an ice cream maker. This is so refreshing, easy to make and full of vitamin C.

Let’s begin.

Bring 1 cup of sugar & 1 cup of water to a soft boil, stirring frequently.

Once all the sugar is well dissolved, you will be left with a simple syrup.  Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Wash & dry 4 ripe mangoes

Peel

and slice mangoes

Puree in blender or food processor.

Add the cooled sugar syrup and the juice of 2 limes, and puree until smooth.

Pour into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Pour puree into ice cream maker, and let it do it’s thing.  I use an inexpensive Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.  It works well, and costs under 60 bucks.

Once done churning,  place in a freezer safe container and cover.

Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 – 6 hours before serving.

Let the sorbet thaw for 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
