Spicy Mango Sorbet with Chilli-Lime Salt

Sweet mango, sharp lime and a pinch of chilli salt on top, the way it is served from street carts in Mexico. No ice cream machine needed: it is just a blender and frozen fruit.

Ingredients

For the sorbet

  • 600 g frozen mango chunks
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 2 to 3 tbsp maple syrup or sugar, to taste
  • 50 ml cold water

For the chilli-lime salt

  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • Zest of 1 lime

Method

  1. Put the frozen mango, lime juice, maple syrup and water into a food processor or a strong blender.
  2. Blend, stopping to scrape down the sides, until smooth and creamy like soft-serve ice cream. Add a splash more water only if it will not turn.
  3. Mix the salt, chilli powder and lime zest in a small bowl.
  4. Serve straight away in cold bowls with a pinch of chilli-lime salt on top, or freeze for an hour for a firmer scoop.
