Lime Mango Sorbet

Lime, mango, sugar, a dash of tequila. These ingredients are just destined to be together in a sorbet. Unlike lemon sorbet which can be quite tart, this lime mango sorbet has the smoothing influence of the mango. The addition of tequila not only adds a hint of margarita to the flavors, but helps keep the sorbet from getting icy.

Lime Mango Sorbet Recipe

Yum

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• Zest from one lime
• 3 ripe mangos (about 2 1/2 pounds)
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• Pinch salt
• 3 Tbsp tequila

Method

1 Heat the sugar, water, and lime zest in a medium saucepan until the sugar has completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.

2 Cut the flesh from the mangoes (see How to Cut a Mango).

3 Put the mango pieces, sugar water, lime juice, and salt into a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Pour into a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely chilled.

4 When ready to put the chilled lime mango purée into your ice cream maker, mix in the tequila.

Transfer mixture to a plastic storage container and freezer in your freezer until firm, at least 6 hours.
