Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen mango
  • 1/2 cup canned full fat coconut milk
  • Juice and zest of one large lime
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 12 tsp chili lime seasoning

Optional Toppings

  • Coconut flakes
  • Extra chili lime seasoning

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
