Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen mango chunks
- 0.5 cup fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup agave nectar or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 2-4 tbsp water (optional, for smoother consistency)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the frozen mango chunks, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar (or maple syrup) in a high-powered blender or food processor. Begin by pulsing the ingredients together for about 30 seconds, breaking down the frozen mango.
- 2
Continue blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. This process should take approximately 5-8 minutes. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add 1-2 tablespoons of water at a time, blending until the desired consistency is reached.
- 3
Taste the sorbet and adjust the sweetness by adding more agave nectar or maple syrup if desired. Blend for another 30 seconds to incorporate any added sweetener.
- 4
For a firmer sorbet, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. Press a piece of parchment paper directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming, then cover tightly. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
- 5
When ready to serve, allow the sorbet to sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Serve immediately and enjoy the pure, tropical flavor.

Tips & Notes
- Refrigerate maple syrup after opening and use within a year.
- Use an oven thermometer — most ovens run hot or cold by 25°F or more, which especially affects GF baked goods.
- Chill the assembled dish for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
