FAQs
Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?

- Juice and zest of one large lime
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1–2 tsp chili lime seasoning
Optional Toppings
- Coconut flakes

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the mango is frozen to achieve the right sorbet texture. Zest and juice the lime fresh to capture the bright citrus flavor.
- Blend the Sorbet: Add the frozen mango, coconut milk, lime juice and zest, maple syrup, and chili lime seasoning into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Use a tamper if your blender has one to ensure even blending of the frozen fruit, or stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of your food processor for a uniform texture.
- Transfer and Freeze: Pour the smooth sorbet mixture into a loaf pan or a shallow airtight container. Optionally, sprinkle coconut flakes and extra chili lime seasoning on top to enhance the flavor and texture.
- Chill: Cover the container tightly with foil or a lid and place it in the freezer to firm up for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve: Scoop out the sorbet and enjoy a refreshing, sweet and spicy frozen treat that combines tropical mango, zesty lime, and chili heat.
Notes
- Use frozen mango chunks for the best consistency and to eliminate the need for ice that can water down the sorbet.
- Adjust the amount of chili lime seasoning based on your preferred spice level.
- Maple syrup provides a natural sweetener, but you can substitute with agave nectar or honey if preferred.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- Allow sorbet to soften slightly at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
