💭 FAQs
To maintain a scoopable texture, it's essential to balance the sugar content. Using a simple syrup made from water and sugar helps achieve this balance, preventing the sorbet from freezing too solid.
Store the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. To minimize the formation of large ice crystals, consider stirring the sorbet every hour during the first few hours of freezing
While frozen mangoes are recommended for a creamy texture, you can use fresh mangoes. If using fresh fruit, freeze the mango chunks overnight before blending to achieve the desired consistency.
For optimal flavor and texture, consume the sorbet within one month of freezing. Since it's homemade without preservatives, it's best enjoyed sooner rather than later.
The best way to store your sorbet is to transfer it to an airtight container, ideally a freezer safe container.
