Mango Coconut Sorbet
A tropical vegan delight! This mango coconut sorbet is creamy, refreshing, and bursting with the flavors of the tropics. It's a perfect dairy-free dessert for hot summer days.
Ingredients
- 500 g Ripe Mangoes
- 200 ml Coconut Milk (full-fat)
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 50-75 ml Agave Nectar (or maple syrup)
- 1 pinch Pinch of Salt
Prepare the Mango
Peel and dice the ripe mangoes. Discard the pit. Place the diced mango in a blender or food processor.
Blend Ingredients
Add the coconut milk, lime juice, agave nectar (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt to the blender with the mango. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness according to your preference. Add more agave nectar if needed. For a tangier flavor, add a little more lime juice.
Churn in Ice Cream Maker
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Freeze to Harden
Once churned, the sorbet will be soft. Transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to harden to your desired consistency.
Serving
Scoop the sorbet into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with shredded coconut, a slice of mango, or a sprig of mint, if desired.

Other Important Considerations for Nutrition
This sorbet is a good source of vitamin C from the mangoes. Coconut milk adds some healthy fats. Be mindful of the sugar content, and adjust the amount of sweetener used based on your dietary needs. Using full-fat coconut milk contributes to a creamier texture. If you want to reduce fat, you can use light coconut milk, but the texture may be slightly less creamy. Ensure the mangoes are ripe for the best flavor.
