Chili Lime Mango Sorbet is a refreshing and unique dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes, the tang of lime, and the heat of chili powder for an unforgettable flavor experience.

Ingredients

3 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced

½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice

1 teaspoon lime zest

½ to 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)

A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the mangoes. Ensure they are ripe for maximum sweetness.
  2. In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, granulated sugar, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. Taste the mixture and adjust the sugar and chili powder as needed for balance. Add more chili powder if you prefer a spicier sorbet.
  4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance the flavors before freezing.
  5. Pour the chilled mango mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish.
  6. If using the shallow dish method, freeze the mixture and stir every 30 minutes for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals until the sorbet is smooth and creamy.
  7. Once the sorbet reaches a scoopable consistency, transfer to an airtight container and freeze for another 1-2 hours for the best texture before serving.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of the mangoes.

If you prefer a creamy texture, replace half of the lime juice with coconut milk.

For extra spice, add jalapeño or hot sauce for an extra kick.

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
