Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon of lime juice
- 1/2 cup of agave syrup (or maple syrup for a different flavor)
- 1 cup of coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Begin by preparing your mangoes. Ensure that they are ripe for the best sweetness and flavor. Once peeled and diced, place the mango pieces into a blender.
Add the freshly squeezed orange juice, lime juice, agave syrup, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth, ensuring no chunks remain.
Taste the mixture, and if desired, adjust sweetness by adding a bit more agave syrup. Blend again if you make any adjustments.
Once your mixture is smooth and sweetened to your liking, pour it into a shallow, freezer-safe container. This will help with the freezing process and make it easier to scoop later.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer. Allow the sherbet to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it is firm.
Before serving, let the sherbet sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
Scoop the vibrant sherbet into bowls or cones, and garnish with fresh mint leaves or slices of citrus for a pop of color. Enjoy this refreshing treat on a hot day, or share it with friends and family as a light and fruity dessert.
Not only is this Citrus Mango Sherbet a delightful treat, but it also embodies the essence of plant-based indulgence—refreshing, flavorful, and guilt-free!
