Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large lime (juice and zest)
- 3 cups (710 ml) frozen mango
- ½ cup (120 ml) canned full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) maple syrup
- 1–2 tsps (5–10 ml) chili lime seasoning
Instructions
- Preparation: Gather ripe, juicy mangoes, ensuring peak tropical sweetness and optimal flavor intensity.
- Blending: Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender, processing until achieving a velvety, uniform liquid with smooth, consistent texture.
- Processing Technique: Use tamper or periodically pause to scrape container walls, guaranteeing complete ingredient integration and preventing lumpy consistency.
- Freezing Preparation: Transfer blended mixture into a standard loaf pan, creating an even surface and spreading mixture smoothly.
- Flavor Enhancement: Sprinkle coconut flakes and optional chili lime seasoning across the top, adding complexity and visual intrigue to the sorbet.
- Freezing Stage: Cover pan securely with aluminum foil, protecting from potential freezer contamination, and place in freezer for minimum two hours until fully solidified.
- Serving: Extract sorbet from freezer, allowing brief moment to soften slightly, then scoop and serve, enjoying the vibrant, tangy-sweet tropical dessert with its refreshing chili-lime undertones.
Notes
- Mango Ripeness Matters: Select deeply colored, soft mangoes that yield slightly when pressed, ensuring maximum sweetness and optimal sorbet texture.
- Blending Pro Tip: Use a high-powered blender with a tamper to prevent air pockets and achieve a ultra-smooth, creamy consistency without icy crystals.
- Flavor Balance Technique: Adjust chili lime seasoning gradually, tasting as you go to create a perfect sweet-tangy-spicy profile that doesn’t overpower the mango’s natural flavor.
- Freezing Strategy: Cover tightly with aluminum foil and store in the coldest part of the freezer, removing 5-10 minutes before serving to soften for easier scooping.
