Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 1 small ripe cantaloupe or honeydew melon
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes into small chunks, discarding the pit.
Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Dice into small chunks.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves completely to make a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, combine the mango chunks, melon chunks, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Add the cooled simple syrup to the fruit mixture and blend again until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-30 minutes) until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
Serve scoops of the Mango Melon Sorbet in bowls or cones, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
