With just a few ingredients and a little patience, you can create a luxurious mango sorbet that rivals any store-bought variety.

This creamy mango sorbet is an ideal recipe for anyone who loves fresh fruit desserts with no artificial flavors or preservatives. Mango is naturally sweet and loaded with vitamins, and using it as the main ingredient makes this recipe healthier than traditional sorbets that rely on added sugars. The addition of coconut milk and lime brings out tropical flavors, making each bite feel like a mini vacation in your mouth.
With just a few minutes of prep, you’ll have a vibrant and smooth mango sorbet that is as good for you as it is delicious. You can even adapt the recipe to your tastes, adding more lime for zing or adjusting the sugar level depending on how sweet your mangoes are.
For this simple yet flavorful mango sorbet, you’ll need:
Start by peeling and cubing your ripe mangoes. Ripe mangoes will have a strong tropical fragrance, and their flesh will give slightly when squeezed. This ensures they are sweet and juicy, which is essential for a flavorful sorbet.
Place the cubed mango into a blender or food processor along with the coconut milk, lime juice, sweetener (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The coconut milk will lend a rich texture to the sorbet while keeping it dairy-free, and the lime adds a bright citrus note that balances the sweetness of the mango.
Once the mango puree is smooth, pour it into the Ninja Creami pint container. Level the surface using a spatula so it freezes evenly. Place the lid on the container and freeze it upright in the freezer for at least 24 hours. For best results, allow the mixture to freeze completely solid before you start the churning process.
After freezing the mango mixture for 24 hours, it’s time to use the Ninja Creami to work its magic. Remove the frozen pint from the freezer, remove the lid, and insert the pint into the Ninja Creami machine.
Select the “Sorbet” setting and let the Ninja Creami churn the frozen mango mixture. You’ll notice that the machine breaks down the ice crystals and turns the frozen base into a creamy, smooth sorbet. If the texture is too thick or icy after the first churn, simply add a splash of coconut milk and run the sorbet cycle again for an even smoother texture.
Once the sorbet is ready, taste it to see if any adjustments are needed. If you find it’s not sweet enough, you can add a little more honey or agave and mix it in using the “Mix-In” setting on the Ninja Creami.
Your creamy mango sorbet is ready to be served! Scoop it into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh mint leaves, toasted coconut flakes, or a wedge of lime for an extra touch of tropical flair. If you want an extra-creamy texture, you can also blend in more coconut milk during the mixing process.
Choosing Ripe Mangoes: The sweetness and flavor of your sorbet depend heavily on the quality of the mangoes. Choose mangoes that are fully ripe for the best results. If your mangoes are a bit tart or under-ripe, you can add a bit more sweetener to balance the flavor.
Customize Your Sorbet: This recipe is highly customizable. Want to add some extra flair? Try blending in a handful of raspberries, strawberries, or pineapple to create a mango berry or tropical blend sorbet. The Ninja Creami is versatile enough to handle additional fruits and flavors with ease.
Use Coconut Milk for Creaminess: The full-fat coconut milk in this recipe gives the sorbet a rich and velvety texture. You can substitute it with other non-dairy milks like almond or oat milk, but the texture will be less creamy. If you don’t need the recipe to be dairy-free, regular milk or cream will also work well.
Control the Sweetness: The sweetness of your sorbet will vary depending on how ripe your mangoes are. If your mangoes are very sweet, you might not need any additional sweetener at all. If they’re a little less sweet or slightly tart, adding honey, agave, or maple syrup will help enhance the flavor.
Storing Leftovers: If you have leftovers, store the sorbet in the Ninja Creami pint container or another airtight container in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, you may need to reprocess it in the Ninja Creami to restore the creamy texture after freezing.
This creamy mango sorbet made in the Ninja Creami is the perfect way to cool off and indulge in a guilt-free, fruity treat. The combination of ripe mango, creamy coconut milk, and a hint of lime creates a refreshing dessert that will transport you straight to a tropical paradise.
