Cuisine: Frozen Dessert
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup honey or sugar
- 1 tsp lime zest
Instructions
- Prepare the mangoes by peeling and carefully dicing them into small, uniform chunks. Ensure the mangoes are ripe and sweet for the best flavor.
- Place the diced mangoes, plain yogurt, fresh lime juice, honey (or sugar), and lime zest into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and completely incorporated, with no large mango chunks remaining.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or sugar. The balance between the sweet mango and tangy lime should be harmonious.
- Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container or ice cream maker if available. If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning.
- If not using an ice cream maker, place the mixture in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes to prevent large ice crystals from forming. This will help maintain a creamy texture.
- Freeze for approximately 2-3 hours or until the yogurt reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Remove from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to allow slight softening. Scoop into serving bowls and garnish with additional lime zest or fresh mango pieces if desired.
Tips
- Mango Matters: Choose fully ripe, fragrant mangoes for the most intense flavor. The riper the mango, the sweeter and more delicious your frozen yogurt will be.
- Blending Technique: Blend ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without any chunky bits. A high-powered blender works best.
- Freezing Hack: If you don't have an ice cream maker, don't worry! The stirring method works perfectly. Remember to stir every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals.
- Sweetness Balance: Taste and adjust honey or sugar. The goal is a harmonious blend between sweet mango and tart lime.
- Serving Tip: Let the frozen yogurt sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
- Garnish Options: Elevate your dessert with extra lime zest, fresh mango chunks, or a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added texture and flavor.
