This recipe does not need any fancy equipments. Even without ice cream maker you can get creamy sorbet texture by just freezing and blending on intervals. The flavor is purely mango so make sure choose good sweet variety for best results. The taste totally worth the wait and I feel this is a must try during mango season.

Adding lemon juice in this recipe not only gives slight tanginess but also helps the texture stay soft. Sugar quantity can be adjust depending how sweet your mangoes are. If mango very sweet, less sugar will do.
