US - Metric

Instructions

To make with fresh mango

  • Peel the mango, cut the flesh away from the pit, and chop it into chunks.
  • Add the mango, lemon juice, and honey to a blender and blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Pour the purée into a shallow freezer-safe dish, cover, and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
  • Let it soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes, then scoop and serve.

Notes

Instant Version
To make it right away, skip the freezing step and start with frozen mango. Blend the frozen mango with the lemon and honey until thick and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes, adding a splash of water or non-dairy milk if needed to keep it moving. Serve right away.
Notes
Start with a ripe mango. It carries the whole flavor, so use one that smells fragrant at the stem and gives a little when you press it. Frozen mango chunks work too, as long as they were ripe when frozen.
Match the liquid to your blender. A high-powered blender turns frozen mango smooth on its own. With a standard blender, add a splash of non-dairy milk or water a little at a time so it blends without thinning out.
Taste before you freeze. Adjust the honey and lemon while the mixture is still liquid, since it's hard to fix the balance once it's frozen.
Use a shallow dish. A shallow freezer-safe dish freezes faster and more evenly than a deep bowl, which keeps the texture smooth.
