Question 1

Can I make this without an ice cream maker?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This recipe doesn't require an ice cream maker. A food processor or high-powered blender is all you need to create a smooth, creamy sorbet.

Question 2

Can I use bottled orange juice?

Accepted Answer

You can, but I highly recommend using freshly squeezed orange juice if you can. It has a brighter, fresher flavour that really complements the sweetness of the mango.

Question 3

Can I use fresh mango instead of frozen?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Just peel, chop, and freeze the mango until it's completely firm before blending. Starting with frozen fruit is what gives the sorbet its thick, creamy texture.

Question 4

Why did my sorbet freeze so hard?

Accepted Answer

That's completely normal with homemade sorbet since it doesn't contain the stabilizers found in store-bought versions. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping, and it'll soften to the perfect consistency.

Question 5

Can I make this ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is a great make ahead dessert. Prepare it a day or two in advance and keep it stored in an airtight container in the freezer. Just let it soften for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
