Ingredients
- 2 cups, peeled and diced ripe mango
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1, juiced lime
- 2 tbsp agave nectar
- 5 leaves, finely chopped fresh mint
Instructions
- Step 1: Place 2 cups diced ripe mango, 1 can full-fat coconut milk, 1 lime juiced, and 2 tbsp agave nectar in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed (about 2 minutes).
- Step 2: Pour mixture into a freezer-safe container, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals, and freeze for 4 hours or until firm but still scoopable.
- Step 3: Remove from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and garnish with 5 finely chopped mint leaves per serving.
- Step 4: Serve immediately for the best texture, as sorbet will harden quickly in the freezer.
