Mango sorbet has never been quicker or easier! All you need is a bag of frozen mangoes, a couple of pantry ingredients, and a blender! It's dairy-free has no added sugar and you don't need an ice-cream maker!
This 3 ingredient mango sorbet is the perfect summer time frozen dessert! It's healthier than ice cream, but just as delicious (Or even more so!).
It's the ideal balance between sweet, tangy and creamy.
Do you need an ice cream maker to make mango sorbet?
Nope. No ice cream machine or churning is needed for this recipe.
It's so nice to be able to make a frozen treat without dragging out the ice cream maker. Using a high-powered blender like a Blendtec or a Vitamix is the easiest way, but if you don't have a blender like that -- no worries. I got some tips for you to try.
Easy Mango Sorbet Ingredients
The nice thing about mango sorbet (or any frozen fruit sorbet) is that it's really low key.
You don't need to make a simple syrup or do anything fancy. All you need are three ingredients:
- Frozen Mango
- Pineapple Juice
- Coconut or Almond Milk
If your sorbet is just a little too tart for your taste, you can add some natural sweetener!
How to make Mango Sorbet in a Blender
It's so easy you won't believe it until you try it for yourself! Having a powerful blender will make your life easier, but if you don't, check out my tips!

- Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours to harden. Remove from the freezer and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to soften before serving.
Didn't I say it was easy!
Mango Sorbet Recipe Variations
Fruit: You could add any type of frozen fruit! Like Raspberries or Grilled Pineapple! You could even make Pumpkin Pie sorbet!
Juice: Pineapple, orange juice, and pomegranate juices are great because they're tart and they brighten up the flavors. And it doesn't take much. You could also use lemon juice or lime juice, but just a pinch or it'll be too tart.
Liquid: Any type of plant-based milk will work for this recipe. Or regular milk.
Watch how easy it is to make!
Tips for making Frozen Fruit Sorbet
This mixture will be very thick. If you don't have a powerful blender (like a Vitamix or a Blendtec) you may need to add ½ cup more liquid to help it move along.
Freeze the container you plan to store it in BEFORE you put the sorbet or ice cream in it. It'll freeze much more quickly and reduce the amount of iciness in the sorbet.
If you cannot use pineapple juice, orange juice would be a good substitution.
And make sure you have plenty of mangoes in the freezer because if you're feeding more than four people you're going to need to make more. Good thing it only takes five minutes!
What to serve with mango sorbet?
We usually eat it straight out of the blender, but if you want to be fancy, add mint leaves, crushed nuts or some fresh fruit that goes well with mango!
FAQs
Typically, sorbet doesn't contain any dairy.
Sorbet is a refreshing and iced dessert. With no added sugar, it could even be considered a healthy dessert option. Sorbet is also served as Palate cleanser between courses sometimes.
Well, mangoes.
Some fruit has a natural tendency for creaminess. Bananas and avocados are other "creamy" fruits.
Usually, I add avocado or coconut cream for the creamy component, but some fruit has a naturally creamy consistency. Mangoes are one.
For the liquid, I typically use a combination of almond/coconut milk and some fruit juice. Typically, sorbet doesn't contain any dairy.
I suppose it depends on your definition of healthy. Healthy is such a subjective topic, right?
If you're looking for whole-food based recipes, then yes, this fits the bill. And technically it IS paleo.
However, mangoes and pineapple juice contain a large amount of sugar. Yes, it's natural sugar, but it'll still make your blood sugar skyrocket.
This is definitely not a keto/low-carb recipe, if that's what "healthy" means to you.
I love it because it's simple, easy, and whole-food based. I'd much rather have my kids eating this than anything they get from the ice cream man.
