Easy Champagne Mango Sorbet
This refreshing Champagne Mango Sorbet comes together with just simple syrup, pureed mango, and fresh lime juice and zest for brightness.
While I love homemade ice cream, homemade sorbet is even easier to make! Often times you can throw some variety of homemade sorbet together with basic items in your pantry and freezer. It really is that easy.
This Homemade Champagne Mango Sorbet is made with simple syrup and pureed champagne mangos. A hint of fresh lime juice and zest is added, which adds brightness and brings out the mango flavor even more.
While I used fresh mangos, feel free to substitute frozen (thawed) fruit. I am partial to Champagne (otherwise known as ataulfo) mangos, because I often find they are superior in flavor and texture to regular mangos found at grocery stores.
This sorbet would be a great choice for a light dessert in the summer months. It is simple and refreshing. You could even add fresh fruit, such as raspberries, chopped strawberries, or blueberries toward the end of the freezing process for an add-in.
If needed, follow these directions for how to make ice cream without a machine.
Tip: Trader Joes sells cheap bags of frozen champagne mango halves and regular mango chunks!
