Description
This Chili Lime Mango Sorbet is a refreshing and vibrant frozen dessert that combines the natural sweetness of ripe mangoes with the tangy zest of lime and a spicy kick from chili lime seasoning. Creamy coconut milk adds richness while keeping it dairy-free, making it a perfect cool treat for warm days or a light finish to any meal.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mango
- 1/2 cup canned full fat coconut milk
- Juice and zest of one large lime
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1-2 tsp chili lime seasoning
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen mango, coconut milk, lime juice and zest, maple syrup, and chili lime seasoning into a high-speed blender or food processor. This mixture forms the base of the sorbet and will be blended until smooth.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a completely smooth and creamy texture. Use a tamper if available on your blender to help incorporate all the frozen mango pieces, or stop to scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure even blending.
- Set in Pan: Pour the sorbet mixture into a loaf pan or a similar container to shape it for freezing. This also makes it easy to scoop later.
- Optional Toppings: Garnish with toasted coconut flakes and an extra sprinkle of chili lime seasoning to add texture and enhance the flavor before serving.
- Freeze: Cover the pan tightly with foil or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the sorbet to firm up for at least 2-3 hours before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of chili lime seasoning to your preferred spice level, starting with 1 teaspoon and increasing if desired.
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- This sorbet is dairy-free and vegan, making it suitable for those dietary preferences.
- If the sorbet becomes too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with agave nectar or honey if not strictly vegan.
