How to make mango sorbet
There isn’t much to making mango sorbet. The secret is choosing good quality mangoes that are ripe and juicy. If they’re out of season, then it will probably be an expensive dessert!
Mangoes vary in flavour and sweetness depending on ripeness and variety. If you have the choice, Kensington Pride mangoes are a good option. They’re sweet but also have a slight tang.
