Ingredients
- 2 cups, diced ripe mango
- 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk

- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup, chopped fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender, combine 2 cups diced mango, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 cup honey. Blend on low speed until completely smooth and no large chunks remain, scraping down sides as needed.
- Step 2: Add 1/4 cup chopped mint leaves and pulse 3-4 times until evenly distributed but still visible in the sorbet.
- Step 3: Pour the sorbet mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Step 4: Freeze for 4 hours or until firm, stirring once halfway through with a fork to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Step 5: Let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly before scooping, then serve chilled in small bowls with extra mint for garnish.
