If you love mangoes as much as I do, this single serving mango sorbet is for you. Made with just one mango—fresh or frozen—it’s a simple way to turn ripe, juicy fruit into a smooth, creamy frozen treat.

The natural sweetness of the mango shines through, with a touch of lemon juice to brighten the flavor and a little honey to enhance its richness—but the honey is completely optional if your mango is already sweet enough.
