Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a high-speed blender, combine 3 cups ripe mango chunks, 1 cup full-fat coconut milk, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1/4 tsp salt. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Step 2: Pour the mango mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals.
  3. Step 3: Before serving, let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and enjoy a refreshing tropical dessert.
