Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

2 ripe mangoes
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel and pit the mangoes and cut them into chunks. Place the mangoes in the bowl of a food processor, add the coconut milk and sugar, and whirl until smooth. Ladle or pour the purée into two ice cube trays. Freeze for at least 4 hours.

    Step 2

    When ready to serve, release the frozen cubes and allow them to soften at room temperature for about 5 minutes. (They should be soft enough to facilitate puréeing, but not melted.) Purée in a food processor until smooth, in batches if necessary.

  2. Planning tip

    Step 3

    The sorbet purée can be made ahead, frozen in cubes, and kept in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Keep the frozen cubes in a freezer bag until ready to serve.
