Why you'll love this recipe
- Fresh and fruity - the taste of mango in summer is just so delicious and always reminds me of vacations. Perhaps it will take you back to a time spent with friends and family in the sunshine too!
- Frozen mango - no need for fresh mango, just head to the freezer for the main ingredient!
- No churn sorbet - this is the easiest recipe and made without an ice cream maker, but a blender instead. And only two ingredients!
Ingredients
I think this may be the shortest ingredients list I have ever written! All you need is:
- Frozen mango: I always have a stash of frozen fruit in the freezer, and this is an easy dessert to make very quickly. The mango does need to be frozen and not fresh to get the sorbet consistency (fresh would give you a smoothie instead!).
- Maple syrup: to add a little extra sweetness to make it even more indulgent.
Equipment required
This is an easy sorbet made without an ice cream maker, so instead we use a blender to make the dessert. Just two tools needed:
- Blender: A regular food processor / blender is all you need. If it is an older model that isn't a high-powered blender, you may just have to run it for a bit longer.
- Ice cream scoop: not a necessity, as you can use a spoon, but I find that an ice cream scoop makes it easier to serve.
Step by step instructions
Homemade sorbet is so easy to do, and requires only blending the frozen mango. Here are the steps:
Step 1
Add the frozen mango and maple syrup to your blender. Pulse blend, scraping down the sides as needed. The mango will change consistency so it looks almost like pieces of rice or grated cheese.
Step 2
Keep blending, and it will then become a creamy consistency. If you like it a bit more lumpy stop earlier, if you want a smooth consistency then keep blending (and scraping down the sides as needed) until it is more creamy in texture.
For a smoother consistency, you will want to blend a little longer than in the picture below.
Frequently asked questions
Sorbet can be made without an ice cream maker, so as a no churn recipe. You simply blend the frozen fruit and sweetener in a food processor.
Yes, you can freeze sorbet. It is best not to leave it in the freezer for too long though as it can get icy.
A note for my low histamine readers
Mango is slightly debated in terms of histamine content.
The SIGHI list rates it as 1 with a ? as a liberator. It has a note stating 'To be debated. Often well tolerated'. Other lists rate it a low histamine, and suggest that it has antihistamine properties.
Only make this recipe if you are on a low histamine diet if you know you tolerate mango well. Any concerns, then consult with a doctor or dietician. There are other sweet treats on my low histamine recipes page if you prefer another dessert.

Recipe
Two ingredient mango sorbet (no churn)
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen mango
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Add the frozen mango and maple syrup to a blender. Pulse blend, scraping down the sides with a spoon as needed, until it is smooth and creamy in texture. It first resembles rice, then will become smooth.
Notes
- Make sure the mango is frozen when you begin. If it is warmer you will get more of a smoothie than a sorbet!
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to taste preference.
- Blending the mango will warm it slightly so it will have a softer consistency. If you prefer a more 'icy' texture then return to the freezer for it to set again.
- mango, which scores 1 and has a ? as a liberator. There is a note 'To be debated. Often well tolerated'. Other lists state that is an antihistamine. Only use if you know you tolerate well.

This was a hit with dinner guests. I added a bit of coconut milk to it - yummy & refreshing! Thanks for sharing.

So glad you liked it Monique! Adding the coconut milk would make it even more creamy I imagine, so I'll have to give it a try.
