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.

This was good. I halved the recipe (I only had 2 mangoes, and they were cut up & ready for something). I also changed the configuration of sugar for the simple syrup. I used about 2/3 sugar and 1/3 Splenda. (Next time I'll try half of each.) It was very good, really refreshing for summer. My only complaint, and it isn't the fault of the recipe, is the stringiness of the mangoes. Some bites were so stringy, and somehow in the freezing process, they lose their juice, so we ended up with clumps of flavorless string stuff in our mouths. It only happened a few times, but I'm going to have to figure out how to fix that. I maybe just need to puree longer than I did. The flavor and simplicity of the recipe, though, get an A from me. Thanks for sharing!

Hmm. I liked this. But I don't have an ice cream maker, so perhaps that is my problem. It kind of just tasted like sweetened frozen mango. LOL. Bf didn't like it but I was ok with it. Maybe kinda like a fruit bar . . .I don't know. I'll have to experiment. Thanks!

Very tasty! Easy preparation but a bit too sweet. Will definitely use less simple syrup next time.

This turned out perfect! It was the first recipe I made with my new ice cream maker. I viewed tons of recipes and choose this one because of the natural ingredients. I am cutting back on sugar so I made the simple sugar syrup with 3/4 Cup instead of 1 Cup and 1 Cup water. I used frozen Mango chunks because the store here was out of fresh. I thawed them and they pureed perfectly. I have a new favorite!!! This is so light and delicious. The lime really adds the perfect little kick to it. Not too much, but just a hint. Next time I am going to cut the sugar back to 1/2 Cup and shoot for using really ripe mangos for natural sweetness. Definately a great recipe!

Reward is far greater than effort put into this quick and simple dessert. I would add simple syrup little by little to taste though because the mangoes I used turned out to be sweeter than expected and didn't require as much syrup.

I threw a seeded jalapeno pepper into the blender with the mangoes. It added a tiny bit of heat and an interesting kick. I reduced simple syrup to 1/2 cup. The recipe as listed makes about 1.25 quarts of sorbet which only serves about four.

This sorbet is so, so good. To make simple syrup, I boiled a cup of water and then stirred in a cup of sugar until the sugar was dissolved. To give it more fruit flavor, I added the lime zest from two limes to the water before I boiled it. Once the simple syrup was made, I added the lime juice from both limes. I ended up with more than a cup of simple syrup, so I just used a cup of it and am saving the rest to make the recipe again. Very yummy! It tastes very fresh.

This is a great basic recipe. Like others, I modified it by reducing the simple syrup to just 1/2 cup, since my fruit was very ripe and sweet. Also, I used one mango, one papaya, one kiwi (minus seeds) and strawberries. It turned out great, only next time I will try canned pineapple instead of the syrup + kiwi (the kiwi made the sorbet taste a little furry though I did skin the fruit first). Make sure you read your ice cream maker instruction before starting this recipe!

Just a tip: I haven't made this specific recipe, but I've been making a similar one for years with jarred mangoes. If you use the ones in the light syrup, you don't even need to use any added sugar. Just add your other lime juice and proceed with recipe. Couldn't be more simple and the texture is wonderful!

What a yummy treat! I do have a few comments that may be helpful to others. I used 4 VERY ripe mangos which I thought may be a problem, but it actually helped! Thanks to the extreme ripeness, there was no need for peeling much - just cut it in half and pull out the "meat." I combined all of the ingredients in a blender for easier pouring. I have a 4-qt. ice cream maker, and this recipe filled less than one-fourth of its container. So, it actually required less time then the machine alotted for, so check yours every once and a while. Once the sorbet was done, it was almost like a "soft serve" consistency; which we all liked a lot, but if you like your pretty frozen and a bit harder, I suggest letting it freeze in the freezer for quite a while. Finally, I believe this recipe says that it can serve 12, well it definitely cannot. I only ended up with 4 servings, which is perfect for the 4 of us, but if you want more you will need to increase the ingredients. (I guess it is one mango per person :D ). Oh, and one more thing, I used bottled lime juice, not fresh and it was fine. Very tasty, you should definitely give it a shot.

I agree with others in that a whole cup of simple syrup is to much. I added some strawberries. I think another fruit would be better. The little seeds from the strawberries didn't chop up. Next time, I'm sticking to straight mangos.

This is an outstanding recipe. I used about 3/4c simple syrup rather than the full cup due to personal preference. Thank you, this is going to become a family favorite!

This is really yummy. I didn't have four mangoes, so I used three kiwi, too. It made it a weird green color, but the flavor was really good. I also added some fresh lime zest & cut the simple syrup to 3/4 of a cup b/c the mangoes were pretty sweet. Very refreshing for summer.
