Naturally smooth and soft mango sorbet that's easy to make and fun to eat! This sorbet is packed with the flavours of Alphonso mangoes and has JUST 4 INGREDIENTS! Palate cleanser or refreshing dessert, this mango sorbet is always a hit! The first time I saw a sorbet being made was on an episode of MasterChef Australia. The contestant I was rooting for
made Peach Sorbet and it looked so outlandish and exquisite. But it's surprisingly easy to make at home! Sorbet is easily one of my favourite ways to cool off on hot summer days! Summer is also the mango season here in India and we are serious mango lovers. We stock up on all our
favourite varieties of mangoes at home and fight over the last one. This mango sorbet is ABSOLUTELY top notch because I've used the king of mangoes: The Alphonso! A sorbet is a frozen dessert with Persian origins which the West happily borrowed and adapted. The sorbet was actually a refreshing palate cleanser in between courses of a meal. But hey, move over, 7 course meal, coz sorbet is a great dessert on its own! Sorbets are tart and acidic and
come in flavours such as lemon, key lime, orange, raspberry, and so on. With just four ingredients, it's hard to go wrong with this sorbet recipe. The base of the sorbet is a simple sugar syrup made by boiling sugar and water together. This sorbet has frozen chunks of Alphonso mangoes. I've also thrown in some mint leaves for contrasting flavours and that extra lingering coolness on the tongue! Creamy-ish Mango Sorbet without an Ice Cream MakerSorbets are generally made in an ice cream maker to make them smooth and creamy. We don't have one which is why we are using the sugar syrup. The sugar syrup ties up the water and sugar molecules to prevent large ice crystals from forming giving us creamier results. Of course if you have an ice cream maker, then its best, but if you don't, adding sugar syrup really helps. You can also blend the sorbet one more time once its frozen and freeze it again for a few more hours before serving. Why I Insist On Using Alphonso MangoesDon't get me wrong, I love most varieties of mangoes! We used a mix of mango varieties in Mango Lassi. But with desserts like Mango Cake, Mini Mango Cheesecakes and this mango sorbet, it's best to use juicier and plump mangoes full of intense flavours. Alphonso mangoes are smoother in texture and are not as fibrous as other varieties. This really helps to amp up the texture of desserts like this one! I know they're more expensive but they're sooo worth it! Additional Tips for Making Sorbet
