Description

Chili Lime Mango Sorbet is a refreshing and tropical frozen dessert that perfectly balances the sweetness of ripe mangoes with a zesty lime kick and a subtle spicy chili twist. This vegan and dairy-free sorbet is made with simple ingredients and no artificial additives, offering a smooth, creamy texture that’s perfect for cooling off on warm days or impressing guests with an exotic treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sorbet

  • 4 cups fresh mango chunks (about 4 large mangoes)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Garnish (Optional)

  • Lime zest
  • Extra chili powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating a simple syrup. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely.
  2. Blend Sorbet Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh mango chunks, fresh lime juice, chili powder, salt, and the cooled simple syrup. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture throughout.
  3. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the blended mixture and adjust the lime juice or chili powder according to your preference for tartness and spice intensity to get the perfect balance.
  4. Churn the Sorbet: Pour the sorbet mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, which usually takes around 20-30 minutes depending on your machine.
  5. Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the churned sorbet into a freezer-safe container. Seal and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow the sorbet to firm up to a scoopable consistency.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve the sorbet chilled, garnished with lime zest or a light sprinkle of chili powder if desired for added aroma and spice.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, strain the mango puree before churning to remove any fibrous bits.
  • If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the sorbet mixture in a shallow pan and stir every 30 minutes until it is fully frozen.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to make the sorbet as mild or as spicy as you like.
