Ingredients
  

3 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (approximately 4 cups)

1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-6 medium lemons)

1 cup granulated sugar (adjust sweetness to taste)

1 cup water

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Small plastic or wooden spoons for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.

    Blend the Mangoes: In a high-powered blender, add the diced mangoes, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and lemon zest. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.

      Strain for Smoothness (Optional): If you prefer a silkier texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, using a spatula to press the mixture through and remove any fibrous bits from the mangoes.

        Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mango-lemon mixture for about 1-2 hours, or until it is thoroughly chilled.

          Freeze the Sorbet: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency (approximately 20-25 minutes).

            - No Ice Cream Maker? Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork for 1-2 hours to break up ice crystals until the desired texture is reached.

              Scoop Into Spoons: Once the sorbet is ready, use a small scoop or spoon to fill each plastic or wooden spoon with the sorbet. Alternatively, mini dessert cups can be used for a different serving option.

                Garnish and Serve: Add a small mint leaf to the top of each sorbet spoon for a burst of color and extra flavor. Arrange the sorbet spoons in a decorative glass or on a elegant serving tray to impress your guests.

                  Enjoy Right Away: Serve these delightful tropical treats immediately for the best experience, or keep them in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
