Why This Recipe Slaps

First, it’s stupidly easy. No baking, no fuss—just blend and conquer.
Second, mangoes bring the perfect balance of sweet and tart, like nature’s candy but without the guilt. Third, it’s versatile. Eat it as a sorbet, parfait, or straight out of the bowl at 2 AM.
Who’s judging? Finally, it’s packed with vitamins, because dessert that doubles as a health food is the ultimate flex.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe mangoes (the kind that smell like sunshine)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for extra creaminess)
- 2 tbsp honey or agave (skip if your mangoes are already sweet enough)
- 1 lime, juiced (for that zesty kick)
- Pinch of salt (trust me, it’s a game-changer)
- Optional toppings: shredded coconut, chia seeds, or a splash of rum (you do you).
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Peel and chop the mangoes. Pro tip: Save some chunks for garnish if you’re feeling fancy.
- Blend everything except the toppings.
Pulse until smooth—no lumps allowed.
- Taste test. Need more lime? Honey?
Adjust now or forever hold your peace.
- Pour into molds or a dish. Freeze for 2 hours if you want sorbet, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a pudding texture.
- Top, serve, and devour. Instagram optional but highly recommended.
Storage Instructions
Got leftovers? (Doubtful.) Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For sorbet, freeze it—just thaw for 10 minutes before scooping. Avoid the freezer burn tragedy with a layer of cling film pressed onto the surface.
Benefits of This Recipe
Want to Cook Delicious Plant-Based Meals From Scratch But Have No Idea Where To Start?
Besides tasting like a vacation? Mangoes are loaded with vitamin C (bye-bye, sunburn), fiber (digestion wins), and antioxidants (aging who?).
Coconut milk adds healthy fats, and honey? Well, it’s better than refined sugar. Plus, it’s dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
Take that, heatwave.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using unripe mangoes. Sad, tart, and stringy—no thanks.
- Over-blending. You’re not making soup.
Pulse until smooth, then stop.
- Skipping the salt. It’s the difference between “meh” and “more, please.”
- Freezing without stirring. For sorbet, stir every 30 minutes to avoid ice chunks.
Laziness isn’t rewarded here.
Alternatives
No mangoes? Swap in peaches or pineapple. Not vegan?
Use Greek yogurt instead of coconut milk. Want it boozy? A shot of coconut rum turns this into a party.
For a nutty twist, add crushed pistachios. The world is your mango.
FAQ
Can I use canned mango pulp?
Sure, but fresh is best. Canned pulp often has added sugar, so adjust the honey accordingly.
Also, check for weird preservatives—your taste buds deserve better.
Why is my sorbet too icy?
You didn’t stir it during freezing, did you? Stirring breaks up ice crystals. Also, adding a tbsp of vodka (or corn syrup) helps keep it smooth.
Science!
How do I pick a ripe mango?
Sniff the stem end. If it smells fruity and sweet, it’s ready. Squeeze gently—it should give slightly, like a ripe avocado.
Color isn’t always a reliable indicator.
Can I make this sugar-free?
Absolutely. Skip the honey or use a sugar substitute like stevia. Just know it might taste less like dessert and more like “health food.” Trade-offs, people.
Final Thoughts
This mango dessert is the hero your summer needs.
Easy, delicious, and borderline nutritious—what’s not to love? Whether you’re cooling off or showing off, it’s a win. Now go forth and blend.
The heat doesn’t stand a chance.
