Ingredients

4 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

1 cup coconut water

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Prepare the Mangoes: Start by selecting ripe mangoes for optimal flavor and creaminess. Carefully peel the mangoes and dice the flesh into small cubes. Transfer the diced mango to a blender.

Blend Ingredients: In the blender, add the coconut water, honey (or agave syrup), fresh lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. These ingredients will enhance the tropical flavors.

Achieve Smooth Consistency: Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth, ensuring there are no chunks of mango left in the blend.

Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the mango mixture for sweetness. If you desire a sweeter flavor, add more honey or agave syrup to taste, blending again until fully incorporated.

Prepare for Freezing: Pour the smooth mango mixture into a shallow dish or a bowl that is suitable for covering. This will help it freeze evenly.

Initial Freezing: Place the container in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until you notice it starting to freeze along the edges.

Stir and Scrape: Remove the mixture from the freezer after the initial freezing time. Using a fork, gently scrape and stir the sorbet to break up any developing ice crystals, creating a smoother texture.

Final Freezing: Return the mixture to the freezer for an additional 2-3 hours. Every 30 minutes, take it out and stir again to ensure a creamy, sorbet-like consistency.

Serve: Once the sorbet is beautifully frosty and smooth, scoop it into bowls or cones. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
