Fresh and fruity with a hint of lime, this mango sorbet is the perfect refreshing sweet treat.
Okay, I realize we’re in the dead of winter right now, but who says you can’t have some delicious frozen treats in the winter?! I absolutely love sorbets because they’re super quick and easy to make and fit a variety of dietary needs. They’re vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, the whole shebang. This mango sorbet is fresh and fruity and refreshing and just perfect!

Put the sugar and water into a small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until all the sugar has dissolved and the simple syrup has reduced by about half.
While the simple syrup is simmering, cut up the mango. To cut up the mango, feel the top to find the core. The core is more firm, while the flesh of the fruit should be a little soft when the mango is ripe. Cut lengthwise down the mango on either side of the core. Then, score the mango into cubes, flip inside out, and cut the flesh away from the skin.
Put the mango and lime juice in a food processor or high-speed blender and puree until smooth. Scrape the sides as needed until mango is evenly smooth.
Combine the simple syrup and mango puree and stir until well incorporated. Transfer to an 8×8″ glass baking dish, cover, and freeze for 10-12 hours or until frozen.
Portion out into individual bowls and serve! Enjoy!
