A quick and easy homemade mango sorbet featuring a spicy Tajin rim and bright lime zest, perfect for warm weather and last-minute cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 cup water
  • Tajin seasoning for rimming
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the simple syrup by combining ½ cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Let cool to room temperature.
  2. Peel and chop roughly 3 cups of ripe mango flesh, removing fibrous parts.
  3. Add chopped mangoes, cooled simple syrup, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon lime zest, and a pinch of salt (if using) to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour the mango puree into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. If using an ice cream maker, churn the chilled mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes) until soft-serve consistency.
  6. If no ice cream maker, pour mixture into a shallow baking dish and freeze. Stir vigorously every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until fully frozen and smooth (about 3-4 hours).
  7. Prepare the glass rims by rubbing with lime wedge and dipping into Tajin seasoning to coat evenly.
  8. Scoop sorbet into Tajin-rimmed glasses and garnish with lime zest or a thin lime slice. Serve immediately.

Notes

If sorbet gets too hard in the freezer, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Chilling the mango puree before freezing improves texture. If Tajin is unavailable, substitute with chili powder, salt, and lime zest. Adjust sugar based on mango sweetness. Slow freezing with stirring prevents large ice crystals.
