This is a great recipe. I make the syrup by boiling 1-1/2 cups water with 8 tbsp sugar,letting it boil for about 15 mins to about 1 cup and leaving it in the fridge overnight. I use 700gm of mango puree and 4 tbsp of lime juice. The next time when I make this sorbet I'm gonna add 1 or 2 tbsp of lime juice, because after freezing, I can't really taste the lime. The texture of this sorbet is just right. Not too mushy or too hard. It is good. Thanks for the great recipe.

Used a sauce maker to puree the mango in and added the lime juice and some zest. Also added a bit of grated ginger to the simple syrup while heating. Poured all of the ingredients in a ziplock freezer bag. (I don't own an ice cream maker yet.) Mixture is currently in the freezer. taking it out ever 15-30 minutes and squishing it around to break up the crystals. Got caught Sneaking a taste and so far wonderfully. I am sure it will be even better completly frozen. Trying the same with some peach puree.

Just delicious! Creamy and velvety smooth - no hint of graininess or iciness, with a beautiful and vibrant color. Delightful and easily identifiable mango flavor simply enhanced with the lime juice - wouldn't have known it was in there had I not made this myself. And because I used a 16 oz. bag of frozen mango chunks (and a half recipe) this was unbelievably fast! I pureed the frozen mango, then added the lime juice and syrup which I had chilled in the freezer and continued to puree until smooth. Because the mixture was pretty much frozen (and spoonable!) before it even hit the ice cream maker, I don't think I even churned it ten minutes before it was done and nearly ready to eat. As for the lime juice and simple syrup, I used the amounts called for in the recipe, scaled down to half the recipe, and found both to be perfect. Definitely a "make again" recipe!

This was very refreshing! I used 3 very ripe mangoes. I didn't use all of the simple syrup, but I don't think I needed it. Another reviewer suggested adding some half-n-half; I think I may try that next time. Great recipe! Thanks!

I was looking for a mango icecream like I use to buy on the Arabian sea in Pakistan. So I added 1.5 c half-n-half to this recipe and it was awesome creamy and refreshing!

Great recipe!! My family raved about it. I used the Piri mangoes found here in Hawaii. These mangoes are very sweet and have intense flavors. I might cut down the simple sugar by a 1/4 cup next time though.

this was an okay recipe. after reading the reviews i got excited that i had finally found a good recipe for a mango sorbet, but it wasn't as good as i had hoped. my brother refused to finish it because he said he tasted the lime more than the mango (he hates limes..), even though i did what the recipe suggested(only 2 tsps actually). next time i will try a different fruit and see what happens, or put lemon juice to 'zest it up' instead of lime. thnx for the recipe anyways! :)

What I would do is put in a 1/2 cup mango nectar and a 1/2 cup simple syrup. I like to use juice and simple syrup. I find out the juice enhances the fruit favor!!!!

Thanks for posting, Marylandgirl. Now before I try the recipe, I need to know how many cups of mango I need. Where I live they vary in size quite a bit, so "4" will not help a whole lot! After reading the reviews I'm anxious to try it. Thanks!

Awesome! I used frozen pre-chopped and peeled mango - easier and quicker. For the simple syrup I used white corn syrup, 3/4 cup. Perfect texture and taste my guests were very impressed! I will use this recipe again.

I saw a comment on here about how to make ice cream without the ice cream maker and since I have the exact same problem, I found this on the internet: Make sure you have a bowl that’s quite wide to use for the churning/freezing process that comes next. Take your ice cream recipe mixture and carefully pour it into the bowl, then chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours, checking on it after 1 hour. The reason it can take longer than an hour is when a recipe mixture has had cooked ingredients added, therefore thorough chilling will take longer. Take the bowl out of the fridge and transfer to the freezer for about half an hour. Then check just how much the mixture has frozen - ideally, it should have started to freeze at the edges but not fully through to the centre. Take the bowl out of the freezer and beat the ice cream mixture until it’s creamy once again (to dislodge and break up the ice crystals that have formed). Put it back in the freezer for another half hour, then remove and once again beat with a whisk. Do this again so that you have beaten the mixture a total of 3 times whilst freezing in between. Put the mixture back into the freezer for a final time until it’s ready to eat. This can take anything from 30 minutes upwards, depending upon the quantity and type of ice cream you’re making and also how you like the consistency of your ice cream (some people like it softer, some harder).

Very refreshing! This came out very, very smooth and creamy. It was not icy at all. I think that was in part to cutting only where the mango was easy to cut. I did not try to get as much as I could from the stringier section by the core. Also, I processed it a LOT. I added 3-4 tbs of whole milk (was out of cream) and 2 tbs of triple sec. This was delicious. I would make again. I think I would even add a tad more milk/cream. Also I would love to try other flavors. I did use an ice cream machine. Truly cool and refreshing. What I especially like is that it is all natural. I know what's in it.

This is very easy to make and a very tasty frozen mango treat. I accidentally left out one of the mangoes, and it still tasted great. To flair it up, I added sliced fresh strawberries with each serving and it really kicked it up a notch. Fresh blueberries, or even grated fresh (emphasize fresh) coconut would be excellent with this. Very cool and refreshing and would be good on a hot summer day!!

I love this recipe for its elegant simplicity and potential versatility. Every once in awhile I see one of those Italian ice cream makers in Goodwill and finally decided to invest $35 in one that appeared never to have been used. As much as I love mangoes, I hate prepping them and also finding four or five dead ripe fruit at the same time. I recently tried this with canned mandarin oranges. I included the light syrup of one can and drained it off the another two. It was great! I like to serve it topped with freshly grated nutmeg.
