My Ninja Creami mango sorbet packs an intense tropical punch with a hint of lime. Thick, creamy (without the dairy) and so easy to make with just 4 everyday ingredients, and no processed additives.

Equipment

Ninja Creami
Stick / Immersion Blender (UK) Get the highest wattage you can, and ideally one with a steel shaft

Ingredients

250 g mango - 1
30 g sugar - 2
2 tbsp maple syrup - 3
½ lime - juice & zest

Metric - USA Cups

Instructions

Prep the Mango - if using frozen mango allow to defrost in the Creami pot.
Add the lime (zest & juice), sugar & maple syrup.
250 g mango, 30 g sugar, 2 tbsp maple syrup, ½ lime - juice & zest
Top up with water - up to the max fill line then blitz with a stick blender.
I find it is best to blitz the mixture as otherwise the pieces of mango will sink to the bottom. You can also blitz in a regular blender, but using the Ninja Creami pot means less washing up.
Freeze until solid; this can take overnight or up to 24 hours depending on your freezer.
Check for humps - If the mixture has developed a hump or bump in the middle scrape with a spoon so it is flat.
* Freezing with the lid off can help to stop humps forming. Different recipes and freezers can different sized humps to form. If your mixture always forms a large hump as it freezes give it a stir after the first hour in the freezer.
Do not spin a mixture that has a large hump, without flattening it first. You may damage your machine.
Process - Put the container in the machine and spin on the sorbet cycle – with the regular Creami (the NC300) which makes pint pots) the sorbet cycle gets the best results for this recipe.
Scrape the sides down and respin if needed.

Notes

Mango - A bag of supermarket frozen mango is perfect. (Just over half a 16oz bag)
Sugar - I usually use golden caster
Maple syrup - adds sweetness, flavour and improves the texture of the final sorbet. You can also use golden syrup or honey.

Hints and Tips

This recipe is for the regular NC300 Ninja Creami, with (American) pint pots. For the Deluxe model use 1.5X the ingredients.
Make sure the mixture is completely frozen before processing.
If you add some mango pieces as additions using the mix-in function, then any re-spinning of the sorbet will blend them completely.
Smooth the surface of any leftover sorbet before returning to the freezer.
To enjoy a half empty pot: either just let it thaw slightly or process again with the sorbet function. You must not the re-spin function on a solid mixture. Or, you can add about 2 teaspoons vegetable, food grade glycerine into the mixture and respin before returning to the freezer so it is scoopable from the freezer. Experiment to perfect quantities.
