Ingredients:
– 3 large very ripe mangoes (about 1.5 pounds), flesh only, peeled and chopped into small pieces
– 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes (optional)
– 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flake-based beverage (such as Vitasoy USA Coconut Original Drink)
– 1 cup water
– 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt (or substitute with plain non-dairy yogurt and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
– 1/4 cup chia seeds
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Ice cubes from about 1/2 cup water
– Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves, sliced almonds, or coconut flakes
Instructions:
1. In a blender, combine the mango flesh, optional shredded coconut, coconut beverage, and water. Blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier consistency, puree the mixture briefly before adding more ice.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the blended mixture and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
3. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or freezer-safe bowl. Place the container or bowl in the freezer and let it sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
4. Every hour, remove the frozen sorbet from the freezer and give it a stir. This will help break up any ice crystals and ensure a smoother texture.
5. Continue repeating step 4 every hour until the sorbet reaches your desired consistency. You may need to adjust the amount of time between stirs depending on how cold your freezer is.
6. Once the desired consistency is reached, transfer the sorbet to a clean air-tight container or serving bowl. Cover tightly and store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Serving suggestions:
Scoop the sorbet into individual bowls and serve immediately. For a thicker consistency, allow the sorbet to soften slightly longer in the refrigerator before scooping. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, sliced almonds, or coconut flakes, if desired. Enjoy!
Note: To make this recipe kid-friendly, simply omit the chia seeds and reduce the amount of cayenne pepper used.
