How to Make Mango Strawberry Sorbet
- Prepare the Fruits: Start by peeling and dicing the mangoes into small chunks. Hull and slice the strawberries so they are ready for blending.
- Blend: In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mangoes, sliced strawberries, sugar, water, and fresh lime juice if you choose to use it. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and decide if you’d like to add more sugar or lime juice. Blend again briefly to mix in any adjustments.
- Freeze: Pour the fruit mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Cover it tightly and freeze for about 4 to 6 hours, or until it’s solid. For the best texture, stir the sorbet every couple of hours to break up ice crystals.
How to Serve Mango Strawberry Sorbet
Once frozen, scoop the sorbet into bowls or dessert glasses. You can add fresh fruit slices or mint leaves as a garnish to make it even more appealing. This sorbet is great as a refreshing dessert or a palate cleanser between courses.
How to Store Mango Strawberry Sorbet
Store any leftover mango strawberry sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. For the best texture, consume it within a couple of weeks, as it may become icy over time. If it hardens too much, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
