Recipe Review

Delicious and refreshing, tasting of sweet-tart mangoes with a hint of orange!

I started this the night before as recommended, intending to use the still-set method instead of the ice cream machine. None of my mango measurements agreed with the recipe’s: I had 3 medium (not 4 large) Ataulfo mangoes which weighed 2 1/4lbs and yielded 3 ½ cups (not 2 heaping cups) chopped fruit. I used it all. After blending the fruit with lime juice, water, sugar and orange rind – grated with a microplane, not chopped as per the recipe - I put the mixture through a strainer, though this last step wasn’t necessary at all.

I froze the mixture and then whipped with an immersion blender once the same evening, then again the following morning. My immersion blender died during the second session so I didn’t repeat the process a third time as instructed. The texture of the sorbet was fine and not at all icy.

Definitely a repeat though I’ll use my ice cream maker next time.

I'm so glad this was delicious - I've two large mangoes ripening up in hopes of preparing this dish.

I so want to try this one. Still not able to cook but maybe I can talk daughter into it if she find find nice ripe mangos. I have marked a few recipes to try in this book, hoping my leg will heal soon.

I highly recommend this but I think it will only be as good as the mangoes used. I was able to find some that were perfectly ripe, sweet and juicy.
