Mango Coconut Sorbet

Directions

1. 1Let the frozen mango thaw at room temperature for 10 minutes until just soft enough to stir.
2. 2Mash the mango with a fork, then stir in the coconut milk, lime juice, agave, and salt until smooth.
3. 3Pour the mixture into a Creami pint below the max fill line and freeze flat for 24 hours.
4. 4Process on the SORBET preset. If the result is crumbly, add a splash of coconut milk and Re-spin.
5. 5Scatter toasted coconut flakes over the top before serving if desired.

Tips

• Freeze your pint completely flat and level in the coldest part of your freezer for a full 24 hours before spinning; this ensures the sorbet texture comes out smooth instead of icy.
• If your result comes out crumbly or powdery after spinning, add a tablespoon of coconut milk or lime juice and re-spin it right away for a creamier consistency.
• Use full-fat canned coconut milk, not lite, because the fat content is what gives the sorbet its rich, creamy texture in the Creami.

Variations

• Swap the frozen mango for frozen pineapple chunks and reduce the agave to 2 tablespoons for a tropical twist with less sweetness.
• Add 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger juice or 1 teaspoon of ginger powder to the base before freezing for a spicy kick that pairs beautifully with the mango and coconut.

FAQ

Can I use lite coconut milk to make this lighter?

Not really, because lite coconut milk has less fat, and the fat is what creates that creamy sorbet texture when you spin it in the Creami. Stick with full-fat for the best results.

How long does the frozen pint last in the freezer?

Once fully frozen, your pint stays good for up to two weeks in the freezer. If you're not spinning it within a few days, cover it with plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming on the surface.

My sorbet came out too icy and crumbly. What went wrong?

This usually means either your pint wasn't frozen solid enough or your base didn't have enough fat and sugar to stay smooth. Add a splash of coconut milk or lime juice and re-spin it, then freeze for the full 24 hours next time and use full-fat coconut milk.

Do I need to thaw the pint before putting it in the Creami?

No, insert it straight from the freezer into the Creami while it's still rock solid. If you let it thaw, it will be too soft to spin properly.
