Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (or honey/agave)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and mint leaves. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and steep for 10–15 minutes. Strain and chill the syrup.
- In a blender or food processor, combine mango chunks, lime juice, and cooled mint syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
- If using fresh mango, chill the mixture for 1–2 hours until cold.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions (15–20 minutes). Alternatively, freeze in a shallow dish, stirring every 30–45 minutes for 3–4 hours until smooth and scoopable.
- Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer. Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
Notes
- Frozen mango can be used directly and may reduce overall chill time.
- For extra tropical flavor, add pineapple or substitute part of the water with coconut milk.
- Adjust sweetness to taste, especially if using canned mango pulp.
- Edible alcohol like vodka or rum (1–2 tsp) can help maintain a softer texture.
- Makes a great palate cleanser between courses or as a healthy summer dessert.
