• Fruit: 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
• Sweetener: 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
• Liquid: 120 ml (½ cup) water
• Optional: Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Combine Ingredients

Place the diced mango, lime juice, sugar, water, and salt (if using) in a blender or food processor.

Step 2: Blend Until Smooth

Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust sweetness or lime as desired.

Step 3: Strain for Smoothness

Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any fibers (optional for extra smoothness).

Step 4: Churn with Maker

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturers instructions until thick and creamy, about 20–25 minutes.

If you dont have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze, stirring vigorously with a fork every 30 minutes until set and fluffy (about 4 hours).

Step 6: Serve or Store

Scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately, or freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
