Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 1 cup water (240ml)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (30ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning (for rimming)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey (15ml)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the simple syrup by combining 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  2. Place peeled and diced mangoes into a blender or food processor. Add cooled simple syrup, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness with honey or more sugar if needed.
  3. Pour mango puree into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
  4. Freeze the sorbet mixture: If using an ice cream maker, churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (20-30 minutes) until thick and creamy. If no ice cream maker, pour mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 hour, then stir briskly to break up ice crystals. Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours until firm but scoopable.
  5. Prepare the Tajin rim by spreading 2 tablespoons Tajin seasoning on a small plate. Moisten rims of serving glasses with lime wedge and dip edges into Tajin to coat evenly.
  6. Scoop sorbet into Tajin-rimmed glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

If no ice cream maker is available, stir the sorbet every 30 minutes while freezing to prevent large ice crystals and ensure smooth texture. Use fresh ripe mangoes for best flavor. Let sorbet soften slightly at room temperature before scooping if frozen too hard. Tajin seasoning is key for the signature tangy-spicy rim; a homemade mix of chili powder, lime zest, and salt can be used as a substitute.
