I thought sorbet had eggs? This is weird.
Easy to make and my kids love it! Will definitely make again.
Why would you add lime juice? It ruins the mango flavor!
Nah, I disagree. Lime just messes up the taste! Just stick with mango, it’s perfect by itself.
I think the lime juice compliments the mango! It adds a nice kick. Otherwise, it can be too sweet.
Just like ice cream but healthier! Love it. 🌱
OMG! Best thing ever! So tasty, I ate it all in one sitting!
Wow, that sounds amazing! I can’t wait to try it myself. I love mangoes!
This is so refreshing! Perfect for summer days! 🍧
Super easy, but the sugar was too much for my taste.
I agree! I found it too sweet as well. You could try cutting down the sugar next time!
Maybe you just don’t like mango that much? I think the sugar is perfect for balancing it out.
Made this with frozen mangoes instead. Still YUM!
3 mangoes? I only had 2 and it still turned out pretty good. 😋
I tried this recipe but my sorbet turned into a slush. Guess I didn’t blend enough?
