Sorbet means frozen dessert made from sweetened water with fruit flavour and liquor. Sometimes Honey also used to give bit more sweetness. Sorbet is a non fat or low fat frozen dessert option. In ice cream dairy products used but in Sorbet only fruit juices and liquor. There is another similar textured product available in Italy known as Granite. In Granite there is large size of crystals are formed as it is often shredded with a fork. The word Sorbet come from the Arabic word "Sharbat".
Mango season is about to finish. So there are ripe mangoes available in market. I want to prepare something really tasty but very healthy too. A mango dessert without sugar. So this Sorbet came to my mind. To beat the sweetness I have added some Lemon to it. You will get a lemony kick at the end of every sip. Here is the recipe.
Mangoes- 3 medium
Lemon- 1
Honey- 3 to 4 tbsp
Soak mangoes in enough water. Then clean it properly and Pat dry with a towel. Peel the mangoes and chop them randomly. Keep these mango pieces in deep fridge for 5 to 6 hours.
Clean the Lemon properly. With a help of a grater, grate the yellow part of the Lemon. Don't grate the white part, it will make the dish sour. Then cut the Lemon and squeeze in another bowl. Keep aside for further use.
After 6 hours bring out the frozen mango pieces from freeze. In a blender jar add Frozen Mangoes, Honey, Lemon Juice and Lemon Zest. Make a smooth paste. There may be some problem in grinding the mangoes, then add some water (2 to 3 tbsp) to the puree. Pour the smooth puree in a bowl and smooth the surface. Cover it and keep it in deep fridge for 4 to 5 hours or over night.
If you are keeping it for 4 to 5 hours then it will be bit easy to scoop out the Sorbet easily. Serve with mint leaves.
If you are keeping it for over night, then let it sit out side fridge for 10 min. Then scoop out the Sorbet and serve with mint leaves.
