2 Ingredient-Mango Sorbet

With the sun out and temperatures starting to rise, I have been craving a nice sorbet. If I was completely honest, I would mention that I love ice cream all year long (we even had a sorbet Yule log for Christmas), but really, the 28C we reached today is the perfect excuse to pull out the ice cream maker I got for my birthday. My very own ice cream maker! This is really exciting, and I have a feeling this machine will be working full time this summer!

For my first try, I wanted to try out my absolute favourite that I always take when we go out for ice cream: mango sorbet! I love the rich flavour, thick texture and overwhelming sweetness of this frozen desert. When I eat it, I just feel like eating spoonfuls of summer.

After searching the internet for the perfect sorbet recipe proportions, I came to understand that it was really crucial to have the right amount of sugar: too little and you end up with ice, too much and you end up with soup. As this was my first try, I went with the 4:1 ratio, and it worked out very well! No simple syrup required means sorbet is ready in just a few steps!

Here is what you need:

• 3 ripe mangoes for 4 cups of mango flesh
• 1 cup sugar

Here is what you do:

1. Wash and peel your mangoes and chop them up.
2. Put in your food processor and process until you get a nice smooth mango purée. Add the sugar while mixing and let the machine work until all the sugar is disolved in the fruit purée.
3. Add to your ice cream maker (please follow your machine’s instructions), and let churn for 30 minutes. Place in a plastic air-tight container in the freezer until fully set and enjoy!

This is seriously so easy to make and incredibly delicious! So much flavour, so little efforts! If you want an extra smooth texture or if your mangoes are particularly fiber-rich, you can strain the mango purée before churning it.
