Since moving to Australia I have fallen in love with mangoes. I had eaten them already during holidays outside of Europe (Indian mangoes are amazing!), but mangoes in Italy are… well… pretty tasteless.
During our recent holiday in Tahiti (I know, I know… I still need to post about it and I will, soon, I promise!), we had lots of tropical fruit sorbets: coconut, papaya, passion fruit, pineapple, and… mango, which was my absolute favourite. So, once home I decided to give it a go and make it myself.
This Mango Sorbet is amazing and the great news is it’s vegan and dairy-free! Yay! And did I mention it’s also very easy to make? The hardest part will be to wait for it to chill in the freezer, as believe me, you will want to eat it soon! This sorbet is creamy, smooth, sweet and just slightly tangy… it’s just like eating a frozen (but creamy!) mango.
And what about you, what’s your favourite sorbet flavour?

Here in Hawaii mango season is just about upon us. Mango trees are abundant, so it should be a bumper crop. I’m sure I can talk my friend into coming over with her ice cream maker and we’ll have a fun afternoon of making Mango Sorbet. Love your site. Love your Mango Sorbet recipe. We’ll make enough to have lots in the freezer. THANKS!!!

Awwww thank you so much Nancy!! I really hope you and your friend enjoy it! 🙂
This looks so delicious. I’m now desperate to try some. I make a lot of ice cream, but need to get more familiar with sorbet.
