🍨 What is fruit sorbet?

Fruit sorbet is an icy treat and can easily be made with frozen fruit such as mango or blueberries, a sweetener and, optionally, some people like to add some coconut milk.

If you use maple syrup or sugar as a sweetener you can blend up a delicious vegan sorbet, in contrast to ice cream which usually contains eggs and milk.

Making sorbet in a blender or food processor is very simple, so you don't need an ice cream maker. Just use frozen fruit or berries (you can buy frozen packets of fruit or freeze them yourself) to make your summer treat!

⭐ 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. Make this mango sorbet in a blender instead, with just two ingredients!

🥭 Ingredients

I think this may be the shortest ingredients list I have ever written! All you need is for this homemade sorbet is:

  • Frozen mango: I always have a stash of frozen fruit in the freezer, and this is an easy dessert to prep very quickly. The mango does need to be frozen and not fresh to get the sorbet consistency. If you wish to freeze your own fruit, this post on freezing mango by Flour on my Face is very helpful.
  • 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.

🔪 How to make mango sorbet without an ice cream maker

Homemade sorbet is so easy to do, and requires only blending the frozen mango. Here are the steps for this no churn sorbet:

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 above.

💭 Recipe tips and notes

  • Make sure the mango is frozen when you begin or will you will end up with more of a smoothie than a sorbet!
  • Adjust the amount of mango syrup to preference.
  • For extra creaminess you can add a little coconut milk.
  • 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.

📋 Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use frozen mango to make sorbet?

To make mango sorbet in a blender you will need to use frozen mango chunks. If you use fresh mango it will be more liquid, and more of a smoothie than a sorbet!

Does sorbet need to be churned?

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.

Can sorbet be frozen to use later?

Yes, you can freeze sorbet. It is best not to leave it in the freezer for too long though as it can get icy.

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Ice cream scoop optional

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 cups frozen mango
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • If freezing your own mango, do so about 3-4 hours before making your sorbet. Using frozen mango chunks from the store also works!
  • Add the frozen mango and maple syrup to a blender. Pulse blend, scraping down the sides with a spatula or wooden spoon as needed, until it is smooth and creamy in texture. It first resembles rice, then will become smooth.

Notes

  • Make sure your mango chunks are 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.

    This is delicious and super easy to make. My kiddos love it, too. I ended up letting the frozen mango thaw a bit in the blender before continuing to blend, because it was just too solid for my blender. It ended up being a perfect consistency once it was finished. I'll definitely be making this again.

      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.

Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
