Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (1 lb/454 g) frozen mango chunks
- ½ cup (120 mL) mango juice or orange juice
- ¼ cup (60 mL) lime juice
- ⅓ cup (67 g) sugar
- 2 tbsps chamoy
- 1 tsp Tajin seasoning
- 1 pinch salt
- Additional chamoy for drizzling
- Additional Tajin seasoning for topping
Instructions
- Blending Stage: Merge frozen mango chunks with citrus juices in a high-performance blender. Pulse ingredients until achieving a velvety, uniform texture, meticulously scraping container sides to guarantee comprehensive integration.
- Flavor Refinement: Taste the initial mixture and calibrate sweetness levels by introducing chamoy, lime essence, or sugar. Manipulate flavor dimensions to create a harmonious taste profile that balances tangy, sweet, and subtle spicy undertones.
- Composition and Freezing: Artfully distribute the liquid sorbet into a freezer-compatible container, creating intricate chamoy marbling throughout. Position in freezer for 4-6 hours, allowing the mixture to solidify and intensify its flavor complexity.
- Presentation and Serving: Extract the chilled sorbet using a prewarmed scoop, depositing into elegant serving vessels. Enhance the culinary experience by generously dusting Tajin seasoning across the surface and executing a dramatic chamoy drizzle, guaranteeing a vibrant Mexican-inspired gastronomic adventure.
Notes
- Mango Texture Mastery: Use fully ripe, ultra-sweet mangoes for the most luxurious, creamy sorbet consistency that blends smoothly without ice crystals.
- Prevent Ice Crystallization: Allow the sorbet to rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly and ensure a silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Balance Spice Levels: Gradually add chamoy and Tajin to control heat intensity, allowing individuals with different spice tolerances to customize their experience.
- Dietary Adaptation: Create a low-sugar version by substituting honey or agave for traditional sugar, making the sorbet more diabetic-friendly and reducing overall caloric content.
