Ingredients:
- 3 cups (450g) frozen mango chunks
- 3 tbsp (60ml) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp (2g) lime zest
- 6 fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup (60g) fresh mango dice
- 1 tbsp (5g) toasted coconut flakes
Instructions:
- Place the frozen mango chunks into your blender or food processor. Pulse several times until the fruit is broken into small, pea sized pieces Note: This prevents the motor from overheating.
- Add the maple syrup, lime juice, and zest to the blender.
- Blend on high, stopping every 30 seconds to scrape down the sides with a spatula, until the mixture is completely smooth and velvety.
- Precision Checkpoint: If using a blender, ensure there are no frozen lumps remaining before moving to the next step.
- Depending on your gear, choose your freeze method: - Churn Method: Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. - Creami Method: Freeze in a Ninja Creami pint for 24 hours and process. - No Churn Method: Transfer to a shallow container and freeze for 2 hours.
- Precision Checkpoint: If no churning, stir vigorously every 30 minutes for 2 hours to break up ice crystals.
- Transfer the sorbet to a final airtight container.
- Press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface of the sorbet before sealing the lid. Note: This prevents freezer burn and ice crusts.
- Precision Checkpoint: Freeze for an additional 2 hours before serving.
- Scoop into bowls and garnish with fresh mango dice, toasted coconut flakes, and mint leaves.
