Mango Strawberry Sorbet (Printable)

Tropical mango meets tangy strawberries in this vibrant frozen treat. Perfectly sweet, refreshingly cool, and ready in minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 ½ cups)
02 - 1 cup ripe strawberries, hulled and halved

→ Sweetener

03 - ½ cup granulated sugar (or maple syrup for vegan option)

→ Liquids

04 - ½ cup water
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

# Step-by-step:

01 - Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently while stirring until sugar completely dissolves. Allow syrup to cool to room temperature before proceeding.
02 - Place mango chunks, strawberries, cooled simple syrup, and fresh lime juice into blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.
03 - Taste the blended mixture and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired by adding additional sugar or lime juice. Blend briefly to incorporate any adjustments.
04 - Transfer the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and place in freezer for 1 hour to begin the freezing process.
05 - Remove container from freezer. Using a fork, stir the mixture vigorously to break up any ice crystals forming around the edges. Return to freezer immediately.
06 - Continue removing from freezer and stirring every 30 minutes for 2 to 3 hours. The sorbet is ready when firm throughout with a smooth, scoopable texture.
07 - Let sorbet stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Scoop into chilled bowls or cones and enjoy immediately.
