FAQs

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?

Yes, but you’ll need to freeze the chunks first for the right sorbet texture.

Is this sorbet very sweet?

It has natural sweetness from the mango, with added syrup adjustable to taste.

Can I make it without a blender?

A food processor works well too. Without either, the texture may not be smooth.

Can I skip the lime juice?

You can, but lime adds a bright, refreshing contrast to the mango.

What if the mixture is too thick to blend?

Let the mango sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly or add a splash of water or juice.

Can I use honey?

Honey is not vegan, but if not strictly vegan, it works as a sweetener substitute.

Can I add alcohol?

Yes, a splash of rum or tequila adds a tropical adult twist, but will affect freezing.
