Mango Sorbet Granita Delight (Printable Version)

A bright mango sorbet granita with icy crystals offers a refreshing and light indulgence perfect for sunny weather.

# Ingredient List:

→ Fruit

01 - 3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 1.5 lbs)

→ Sweetener

02 - ⅓ cup granulated sugar

→ Liquid

03 - ¾ cup water
04 - 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

→ Optional

05 - Pinch of sea salt

# Directions:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Warm over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
02 - In a blender, combine diced mango, cooled sugar syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt if using. Blend until very smooth.
03 - Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe baking dish.
04 - Place the dish in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes until the edges begin to freeze solid.
05 - Using a fork, scrape the frozen edges toward the center. Return to the freezer and repeat scraping every 30 minutes until the entire mixture forms light, fluffy ice crystals, approximately 3 to 4 hours total.
06 - Fluff the granita with a fork and serve immediately in chilled glasses or bowls.
