Mangoes are one of the most under-loved fruits in my opinion. They puree into a beautiful creamy base, somewhat like bananas, only smoother, and lend wonderful sweetness to recipes. This mango sorbet showcases their natural deliciousness with complimentary tropical flavors like lime, pineapple and coconut! It’s also the perfect, naturally top allergen-free dessert to kick off Food Allergy Awareness Week.

Mangoes are also a healthy treat, bursting with antioxidants and more than 20 different vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and vitamin B6, which can help support immune function as part of a healthy diet. And since this tropical mango sorbet is rich in mangoes but low in added sugars, I think it qualifies as a very nutritious treat!
To note, different types of mangoes are available year round, but late spring and into summer, you’ll get your pick as several are in season – including Ataulfo, Francis, and Tommy Atkins mangoes.

Oh I would love this!
This looks so awesome, Alisa! I love mango anything.
I can’t get enough mango these days. So good! I’ll have to try this.
You may be able to make the sorbet in a Vitamix Blender. I don’t know how to make a sorbet using a Vitamix Blender.
I had no idea about the different kind of mangoes! This sorbet looks absolutely delicious.
