Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole ripe mangoes
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 small red chilli
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Peel and pit the mangoes, then chop the flesh into small pieces.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar completely dissolves to form a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool.
Finely chop the red chilli, removing the seeds for a milder heat or keeping them in for extra spice. Adjust the amount of chilli based on your heat preference.
Add the chopped mangoes, lime juice, chopped chilli, and salt into a blender. Blend until smooth.
Gradually add the cooled simple syrup into the blender and blend until everything is well incorporated. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or spice as necessary.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any fibrous bits, ensuring a smooth texture.
Transfer the strained mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a sorbet consistency.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and freeze. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals, repeating the process for 3-4 hours until it is firm and smooth.
Once frozen, scoop the sorbet into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with thinly sliced chilli or a wedge of lime for an extra touch, if desired.
