Main Ingredients
- 2 to 3 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and chopped into chunks
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup water (adjust for desired texture)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Tajín seasoning, plus extra for garnish
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or agave nectar (optional)
- Prepare the Mangoes: Peel, pit, and chop fresh ripe mangoes into chunks to create a smooth and juicy base for the sorbet.
- Blend the Ingredients: Place the mango chunks, fresh lime juice, and water into a high-speed blender. Add sugar or agave nectar if desired, then blend until silky smooth and creamy.
- Add Tajín and Mix: Gently fold in Tajín seasoning to taste, adjusting the amount based on your spice preference, to achieve the signature tangy and mildly spicy flavor.
- Freeze the Sorbet: Pour the mixture into small cups or freezer-safe containers. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set but still scoopable.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once solid, sprinkle an extra pinch of Tajín over the sorbet cups before serving for a vibrant, flavorful finish.
Notes
- Choose Ataulfo or Haden mangoes for the best sweetness and smooth texture.
- Start with a small amount of sweetener since mangoes are naturally sweet, and adjust to taste.
- Use a powerful blender to avoid icy chunks and achieve a creamy texture.
- Freeze sorbet in small portions for faster freezing and easy serving.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for the best flavor.
