It’s Monday morning friends and that calls for something easy. This Mango Sorbet totally fits the bill. It’s sweet, tart, refreshing and bright!
I know, it’s the end of February, I get it. It’s not really the season for frozen treats, but I couldn’t resist. I made this sorbet over the weekend for my son Sean who came home to visit for the week from Charleston, South Carolina. Sean does not eat chocolate. I know, crazy, right? But he has always loved all things fruit, with mango at the tippy top of the list. He gave this sorbet the double thumbs up! He pretty much, single-handedly took down the entire container!
It honestly could not be any easier. Four ingredients, that’s it! Puree everything in a blender, then freeze in your handy-dandy ice cream maker and BAM! Spring is served! I like to garnish this sorbet with some fresh juicy raspberries. It’s the perfect little sweet treat to get us all in the mood for spring!!! Have a wonderful week friends!
- 4 ripe mangoes peeled and cubed
- 1 cup simple syrup
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp. finely grated lime zest
- raspberries for garnish
- Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
-
Simple syrup: Combine 1 cup sugar and one cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to a boil. When mixture comes to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
-
Place mango cubes, simple syrup, lime juice and zest in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
-
Freeze the puree in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
-
Spoon sorbet into freezer container, cover and freeze for 6-8 hours.
-
Spoon into bowl and garnish with fresh raspberries. The sorbet will last in the freezer up to one week.
As far as I am concerned, it is ALWAYS the season for frozen treats. Especially ones with mango – and I love that this doesn’t make me go anywhere near an ice cream maker. Come on, SPRING! :)
Darn Kate! You do need an ice cream maker for this one! But it’s so easy. I love using mine! I have the KitchenAid one that attaches right to my mixer. So easy.
Thank you again Mom. I loved that sorbet. It was amazing and I hope you have some next time I come home.
I’m so glad you loved it Sean! I’ll have some waiting for you in the freezer the next time you’re home to visit! I’ll be counting the days love! I LOVE you! XO
I would have fought your son over this container of sorbet, Mary Ann! Obviously him and I have the no chocolate thing in common… well except I don’t hate it per se. Anyways, LOVE LOVE LOVE this sorbet!! The color, the flavor – perfection! And you must have read my mind because I picked up a bunch of mangoes over the weekend. Obviously I NEED to make this pronto! Pinned! Cheers, friend!
Ha! It would have been a tough fight Cheyanne! Sean loved it! Glad you already have some mangoes! It’s so easy!
The color of this sorbet is enough to brighten my day. But eating it would make my whole week! I absolutely love the color!
Yay! Thanks Kathy! Hope you enjoy it!
Mangoes are the best, aren’t they? This sorbet looks absolutely delightful!!
Thanks Jen! It’s such a refreshing treat!
I think frozen treats are perfectly wonderful year round, too. Love this! Mangoes are looking great right now so the perfect time for me to make some :)
Yes, I’ve seen such great mangoes lately at my market! Enjoy your week Jennifer!

This is just perfection Mary Ann! No doubt, frozen treats have my heart year round.. so I’d devour the whole container too! Love the zest of lime and a bit of juice in there! I gotta find me some mangos! Thank you for this my dear!
Thank you so much Traci! I enjoy them year round too! So refreshing! Enjoy your week!
Oh, it’s always frozen treat season in my house ;) & I’m obsessed with this sorbet! I’ve never used mangoes in a treat, so it will be so fun to try this!
Awesome Megan! I hope you enjoy it! Think spring!
I just bought my first ice cream maker and I am so excited to use it! This recipe looks fantastic. Such vibrant color and I bet it tastes even better!!
Yay! I love my ice cream maker!! Hope you enjoy it Natasha!
I’m a huge sorbet fan, Mary Ann – and this one is so pretty (all the photos are lovely – especially those raspberries). I put mangos in my green smoothies all the time and I just love their tropical flavor. It’s super warm here so this is perfect timing – putting this on my to do list and pinning as well!
I’m so glad. Thanks so much for the compliments on my photos! Hope you enjoy!
Yes, yes yes – these colors have me ready for SPRING! Haha, thank you, and lovely photos as well :)
Thanks so much Allie! Spring is coming! Yay!
I don’t even mind that you are posting sorbet in February because here in San Diego the weather has been HOT! I love mango everything, so this perfectly fits the bill :)
Enjoy it Sarah! Lucky you to be able to enjoy some nice warm weather! I’m counting the days!
I’m feeling the spring too Mary Ann, though I don’t think winter is done with us yet. I have a non-chocolate loving member of the family too, so I will definitely have to make this for him (even though we all know he’s nuts!).
We can only hope the cold weather is behind us, right Cathy?! I know, I couldn’t live without chocolate!
This looks again fantastic, Mary Ann. Such gorgeous, luscious scoops!
P.S.: And, wow, I think this is the first time I’ve heard of anyone not eating chocolate!! :)
Thank you so much Nicole! I know! I don’t know where he gets it from!
SO gorgeous! Mangoes are in season around here at the moment so this is absolutely perfect- love you photos too. We are heading into winter though unfortunately, but today is still 30°C – a sorbet kind of day :)
Thank you so very much Claudia! You should definitely give it a try before the mangoes are gone! It’s so easy and so refreshing! Thanks for commenting Claudia!
It’s funny that I’ve found this recipe now. Not sure why, but I’ve been craving mango sorbet for a few days now! Can’t wait to try your recipe!
I’m so glad you found it too! It’s really delicious. So refreshing and easy too. Thanks for the comment!
<3 <3 <3 <3 We are mango sorbets addicts at our house but I've never made it at home!!! Thanks for this recipe Mary Ann!
I’m so glad Lauren! You’ll totally enjoy this one!
So fun and bright, Mary Anne! I always find sorbet such a light and refreshing way to end the meal. And mango! One of my fave fruits for sure. :)
Mango is my son Sean’s favorite fruit! He really enjoyed this sorbet when he came home to visit!
