Cool down with vibrant Chili Lime Mango Sorbet! Sweet mango, zesty lime, and a chili kick merge into a refreshing, easy-blend treat. Full recipe & nutrition details here.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (such as Ancho or Tajin)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is clear. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Place the frozen mango chunks, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, salt, and the cooled sugar syrup into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  3. Step 3: Blend on high speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, resembling a soft-serve consistency. If the mixture is too thick to blend, add a tablespoon of additional lime juice or water at a time until it reaches a smooth consistency.
  4. Step 4: Taste the sorbet mixture and adjust the flavorings as desired. You can add more chili powder for extra spice, more lime juice for tang, or a pinch more sugar for sweetness.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the sorbet mixture to a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the sorbet is firm enough to scoop.
  6. Step 6: Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Keep your sorbet fresh and free of ice crystals by pressing a layer of parchment paper directly onto the surface before sealing the container and freezing; it helps maintain that lovely creamy texture.
  • If your sorbet is rock-hard from extended freezer time, simply let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or pop it into the fridge for 20-30 minutes to achieve that perfect scoopable consistency.
  • Elevate your sorbet experience by garnishing with fresh mint sprigs, a sprinkle of extra Tajin for an artistic kick, or serving alongside grilled pineapple for a delightful tropical dessert duo.
  • Don't skip tasting and adjusting in Step 4; a small tweak of extra lime juice can brighten the mango, a pinch more chili can add a deeper warmth, or a touch more salt can truly make all the flavors sing!
