Mango Strawberry Sorbet (Printable)

Tropical mango meets tangy strawberries in this vibrant frozen treat. Ideal for cooling down on warm days.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fresh Fruits

01 - 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 ½ cups)
02 - 1 cup ripe strawberries, hulled and halved

→ Sweetener

03 - ½ cup granulated sugar (or maple syrup for vegan option)

→ Liquids

04 - ½ cup water
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

# How to Prepare:

01 - Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently while stirring constantly until sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and allow syrup to cool to room temperature.
02 - Add mango chunks, strawberries, cooled simple syrup, and lime juice to blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until mixture is completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.
03 - Taste the blended mixture and adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more sugar or lime juice as needed to achieve desired flavor balance.
04 - Pour the smooth fruit mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with lid or plastic wrap and place in freezer for 1 hour.
05 - Remove container from freezer. Using a fork, stir mixture vigorously to break up any ice crystals forming around edges. Return to freezer immediately.
06 - Repeat stirring process every 30 minutes for 2 to 3 hours total. Each time, use fork to break up ice crystals until sorbet reaches firm, smooth consistency throughout.
07 - Let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. This allows for easier scooping and optimal texture.
