It is no secret that I mangoes are my favorite fruit. So if you are new to this blog then let me tell you that there will always be a new mango recipe (or 3) on my website every year. When I received these gorgeous Sindhri mangoes from mango dxb – my house smelled like a mango scented candle. They were so juicy and perfectly ripe, I didn’t want to do much with them – hence it only seemed fitting that I make something which highlights the flavor of the mangoes. This no churn 3 ingredient mango sorbet was the only recipe lurching on my mind. So let us get to it.

Is sorbet the same as ice cream? Is sorbet healthier than ice cream? Is strawberry sorbet good for you?

Sorbet is not the same as ice cream. Sorbet is a frozen dessert made without any dairy products, usually made with fruit, sugar, water. It can include other ingredients like spices, flavorings and honey. Sorbet is considered to be fat free and lower in calories than most ice creams as it does not have any cream, milk or eggs in it. However it does have sugar in it. Strawberry sorbet like any other sorbet is delicious and a refreshing treat to indulge in but we cannot consider it to be healthy or good for you or bad for you as it is important to consume it in moderation like any other sweet treat.

How do you make sorbet at home? Does sorbet need milk? Does sorbet need egg? Can I make sorbet in a blender?

To make sorbet at home we need a food processor or high speed blender. We freeze the fruit or freeze the juice of a fruit in ice cube trays and either blend the frozen fruit or the frozen fruit ice cubes until it is smooth and creamy. Sorbet does not need milk or cream, you could add water/lemon juice to help blend the mixture together. Traditional sorbet does not need egg to make it as well. To make sorbet at home we need a blender or food processor, without it you cannot make it at home.

What keeps sorbet soft?

The addition of 1-2 tablespoons liqueur (you do not really taste it but it will help the sorbet from freezing into a solid block as alcohol doesn’t freeze). If you do not like or consume alcohol then use extra honey. I have left the liquor and honey out of this recipe as I was going to finish it in one sitting since we served it for a party. The lemon juice was good enough to keep it soft but if you are storing it in the freezer (which you most likely will be doing) a little vodka or honey is the way to go.

What ingredients are in mango sorbet?

To make this mango sorbet we need ripe mangoes, lemon juice and pinch of salt. You could use pre frozen mango chunks to make this sorbet recipe, I have used fresh mangoes, chopped it up and frozen it on a tray.

How to make quick and easy mango sorbet?

If you are using frozen mango then great if you are using fresh mangoes make sure to freeze them until solid – around 3-5 hours depending on your freezer. In a food processor add the frozen mangoes, lemon juice and pinch of salt, blend together. At first the mixture will get lumpy, then grainy. Stop the machine every now and then to scrape down the sides and blend again. Once it is smooth and there are no pieces of fruit or lumps, transfer the mixture to the tin and place in the freezer and serve as needed.
