Mango Strawberry Sorbet (Printable)
Tropical mango meets bright strawberries in this frozen delight. A light, sweet finish to any meal.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruits
01 - 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 ½ cups)
02 - 1 cup ripe strawberries, hulled and halved
→ Sweetener
03 - ½ cup granulated sugar
→ Liquids
04 - ½ cup water
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently, stirring constantly until sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
02 - Add mangoes, strawberries, cooled simple syrup, and lime juice to blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.
03 - Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional sugar or acidity with more lime juice as desired. Blend briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
04 - Transfer mixture to a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with lid or plastic wrap. Place in freezer for 1 hour until edges begin to firm.
05 - Remove container from freezer. Using a fork, vigorously stir the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals forming around edges. Return to freezer immediately.
06 - Continue removing from freezer every 30 minutes and stirring with fork to break ice crystals. Repeat this process for 2-3 hours until sorbet reaches firm, smooth consistency throughout.
07 - Let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping. Scoop into chilled bowls or cones and serve immediately.
