The easiest, best tasting mango sorbet recipe! This creamy sorbet is made with 1 fresh mango or frozen mango chunks, honey and lemon juice. This healthy, single serving dessert recipe can be made in the blender and no ice cream maker needed!
A creamy mango sorbet is a lovely way to cool off on a hot day and with this easy mango sorbet recipe, you can enjoy a cool and refreshing single serving dessert in practically no time at all.
Why This Recipe Works
A sorbet is a frozen dessert made from fruit. Sorbets are a simple combination of fruit or fruit juice combined with honey or sugar. It's a healthy frozen dessert and a great alternative to high fat ice cream.
This mango sorbet requires only 3 ingredients and can be made in a blender, poured into a dish and placed in the freezer to chill. No ice cream maker is necessary!
This is technically a single serving sorbet recipe but could easily serve two people.
Ingredients
- mango (fresh or frozen)
- lemon juice
- honey
How To Make This Recipe
- Cut 1 mango lengthwise alongside the pit and with a spoon, scoop the flesh from the mango sides and place in a blender.

Expert Tips
- You can use 1 cup of frozen mango chunks instead of a fresh mango but be sure to use a blender that handles frozen fruit well. I use a Vitamix and love it. If you don't have a Vitamix or a Blendtec you can use a regular blender. You might find that you need to add a bit more liquid to the fruit to get everything moving in the blender.
- You can make a sorbet out of almost any kind of fruit. Watermelon Strawberry Sorbet is one of my favorite sorbets and comes together just as easily as this mango sorbet.
- If you would like to make a vegan mango sorbet, you can substitute agave nectar for the honey.

Frequently Asked Questions
I freeze the mango purée in a small freezer-safe dish. A mini loaf pan works well. Feel free to use any freezer safe dish that will hold the purée.
