Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) frozen mango
- Zest of 1 lemon
Sweeteners:
- ½ cup (170 grams) honey
Acids:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) lemon juice
Instructions
- Gather ripe, frozen mango chunks and pulse them in a high-powered food processor until achieving a silky, uniform consistency without any lumps.
- Drizzle pure honey, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and finely grated lemon zest over the mango puree, blending meticulously to ensure a harmonious flavor profile.
- Carefully transfer the vibrant tropical mixture into a rectangular glass container, ensuring an even spread across the surface.
- Seal the container with a tight layer of plastic wrap, creating an airtight environment to prevent crystal formation and preserve the sorbet’s smooth texture.
- Position the container in the coldest section of the freezer, allowing the mixture to solidify and develop its intense mango essence for 5 to 6 hours.
- Once the sorbet has reached a firm, scoopable consistency, remove from the freezer and let it rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 minutes to soften slightly.
- Using a chilled ice cream scoop, create elegant spheres of the mango sorbet and transfer them into pre-chilled serving glasses.
- Garnish with optional fresh mint leaves or a delicate lemon twist for an elevated presentation.
- Serve immediately, relishing the pure, refreshing tropical flavors of this homemade sorbet.
