Ingredients
- Frozen Mangoes - To make it easier, just buy your fruit already frozen instead of using fresh and having to add ice.
- Pineapple Juice - For natural sweetness and a hint of acidity to balance. Plus, pineapple and mango are a great flavor pairing!
- Warm Water - After blitzing our fruit, some warm water helps get the silky smooth texture we're looking for.
- Honey - I like to add a touch of honey for extra sweetness. The amount you want to add is up to you, although I do leave measurement suggestions in the recipe card!
Variations and Substitutions
Strawberry Sorbet: Made with frozen berries. I love to swirl together strawberry sorbet and mango sorbet for a treat!
Peach Ginger Sorbet: A tasty sweet sorbet with a hint of warmth from the ginger.
Other Fruit Ideas: This recipe works well with any type of frozen fruit - try watermelon, pineapple, or blackberry sorbet.
Other Sweeteners: Allergic to pineapple? You can simply leave out the juice and add any extra sweetener. I've used honey, agave, or even simple syrup to sweeten with ease.
Drinks: Mix in a little liquor for an adult-only experience. Try rum for a tropical sunrise, or tequila + lime for a frozen mango margarita!
How to Make Mango Sorbet at Home
Like my other sorbet recipes, this one doesn't take much effort - or ingredients - to create. Grab a food processor or blender and get to blitzing!
Step 1: Add frozen mango chunks to a food processor or blender.
Blitz the berries until they form small, icy pieces.
Step 2: Pour in the pineapple juice, warm water, and honey - blending until there's a soft and uniform texture.
And that's all it takes!
Recipe Pro Tip
- Like a more firm sorbet? Instead of enjoying right after blending, add to a loaf pan or deli container and cover with cling wrap and a lid. Then freeze for about an hour before stirring.
Recipe FAQs
Because this dessert has no added sugar, using pineapple juice gives it a natural sweetness. Pineapple also has a little acidity which is great to balance the flavors of the fruit.
Properly stored in an airtight container, this sorbet will keep for up to 4 months.
When you're ready to eat, I recommend letting the container sit out on the counter for a few minutes until it begins to thaw; then, stir well to get that soft texture back.
