Lime Mango Sorbet Recipes

MANGO LIME SORBET

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup water and sugar in a small saucepan and stir. Bring to a simmer and simmer until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender and purée until completely smooth. Transfer to a bowl or container and chill overnight in refrigerator.
• (Chill a 1-quart container in the freezer while you spin the sorbet.) Remove bowl from refrigerator and blend the mango purée again for 1 to 2 minutes in a blender or with an immersion blender. Add to ice cream maker and spin for about 25 minutes. Transfer to chilled container and freeze for 2 hours or longer to pack.
• Once frozen solid, allow to soften in refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

MANGO SORBET WITH LIME AND CHILI

Steps:

• If using, prepare the bowl of the ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
• Place the mango chunks in the food processor and puree until smooth. You should have about 3 cups of puree. Place the 3 cups of puree in a mixing bowl and stir in the simple syrup, lime juice, and chili powder. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer. Freeze for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• If using an ice cream maker, pour into maker and freeze according to manufacturers directions. Transfer the sorbet to a freezable container and freeze until firm, about 1 to 2 hours.
• Serve cold, sprinkled with a little coarse salt and more chili powder, if desired.
• In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water and bring to a boil. Boil 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.

MANGO LIME SORBET

Steps:

• Peel mangoes and cut flesh away from pits; discard pits. Cut mango flesh into 1-inch chunks and spread in a single layer on a plastic-wrap-lined baking sheet. Freeze mangoes, uncovered, until hard, at least 8 hours; once hard, mangoes can be transferred to plastic freezer bags and kept frozen up to 2 months.
• Remove mangoes from freezer and let soften slightly at room temperature, about 15 minutes. Place mangoes and salt in a food processor; puree until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Pulse in juice to taste. Serve immediately, scooped into bowls and sprinkled with lime zest and garnished with lime wedges.

LIME-MANGO SORBET

Steps:

• Peel off lime zest using a vegetable peeler to create long strands.
• Combine confectioners' sugar, water, and lime zest in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate simple syrup until completely cold, about 1 hour. Remove and discard lime zest and stir in rum.
• Place mango in a blender; blend until pureed. Chill in the refrigerator.
• Combine mango puree and chilled simple syrup in an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches soft-serve consistency, about 20 minutes. Transfer sorbet to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

MANGO AND LIME SORBET

Steps:

• Peel and cut up the mango into chunks. Puree mango and 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a blender or with an immersion blender. Set aside. (Don't worry if the puree is tart, the lime juice mellows in the freezing process.)
• Mix the gelatin into the remaining 3 tablespoons of lime juice in a small heatproof bowl. Place the bowl in a small saucepan of simmering water and stir until the gelatin dissolves. Add gelatin-lime juice mix to the mango puree.
• Whisk egg whites to soft peaks. Add sugar or Splenda.
• Gently fold the egg whites into the mango.
• (If you are using an ice cream maker, follow the directions for your machine here. In mine, this takes about 20-22 minutes.)
• Place the mixture into a freezer proof bowl for 2 hours. Take the bowl out of the freezer and mix to break up the ice chunks and return to the freezer. Allow it to freeze until firm or solid.
• If sorbet is frozen solid prior to serving, place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.
• Scoop sorbet into bowls and garnish with lime zest strips.
