Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 cups fresh mango, peeled and cut into chunks
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
3 to 4 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon rum
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes. Once dissolved, remove from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit, discarding the pit. Chop the mango flesh into chunks to yield approximately 2 cups of fruit.
Place the chopped mango into a blender and puree until completely smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve if you prefer an extra-smooth sorbet, pressing gently on the solids to extract all liquid.
In a large bowl, combine the chilled simple syrup, mango puree, lime juice, and rum. Stir well to combine thoroughly.
Add the finely chopped mint leaves to the mixture and stir to distribute evenly. Taste and adjust sweetness or mint flavor as desired.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-30 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop. Serve in chilled bowls or glasses.
Comments
Fresh mango and mint are available year-round at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Kroger, with lime and rum equally accessible at any Charlotte grocery chain, making this a no-special-trip recipe. The cost per serving runs roughly $1.50 to $2.00 when using standard grocery-store mangos and rum, which is reasonable for a frozen dessert. The stated 360 minutes (six hours) is honest: active prep is only 10 minutes, but freezing time dominates, so plan ahead for a next-day or evening-of dessert rather than a weeknight impulse. This works best for entertaining or a planned finish to dinner rather than a family weeknight, and it does not reheat—it's a same-night or frozen-storage dish.
