Ingredients

• 3 large ripe mangoes (peeled, pitted, and diced)
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups water
• 1 teaspoon lime zest

Directions

Step 1

Combine the granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely to make a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, add the diced mangoes, lime juice, lime zest, and the cooled simple syrup. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

Step 3

Taste the mixture and adjust lime juice or sugar if needed, depending on your preferred sweetness and tartness level.

Step 4

Pour the mango mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover it with plastic wrap or a lid.

Step 5

Freeze for 2-3 hours, then remove and stir with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for 2 more hours, or until the sorbet is smooth and scoopable.

Step 6

Once fully frozen, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.
