Mango Sorbet With Grilled Fruit Recipes

QUICK MANGO SORBET

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Serve immediately. If desired, for a firmer texture, cover and freeze at least 3 hours.

GRILLED MANGO

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high heat.
• Cut the cheeks off of the mango. Brush with oil and honey, if needed.
• Place mangos on the center of the grill, flesh side down. Grill for 1-2 minutes, then rotate the mangos 90 degrees and grill for 1-2 more minutes.
• Top with yogurt, ice cream, or frozen yogurt. Drizzle with honey. Consider topping with fresh lime juice, pistachios, or a sprinkle of chili powder.

MANGO SORBET

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes with a vegetable peeler, cut as much of the flesh away from the stone as you can, put it in a food processor or blender.
• Add the sugar, lime juice and 200ml water. Blend for a few minutes, until the mango is very smooth and the sugar has dissolved - rub a little of the mixture between your fingers, if it still feels gritty, blend for a little longer. Pour into a container and put in the freezer for a few hours.
• Scrape the sorbet back into the blender (if it's very solid, leave at room temperature for 5-10 mins first). Whizz until you have a slushy mixture, then pour back into the tin and freeze for another hour or so.
• Repeat step 3. Freeze until solid (another hour or two). Will keep covered in the freezer for three months.
