Mango + Strawberry + Coconut Sorbet
When one of your friends comes to your house and hands you over a bag full of mangos there is only one possible option: SORBET!
For this super hot summer days I decided to use my gifted mangos to do a sorbet, since they were amazingly sweet. When using fresh fruits to make frozen goodies I prefer dairy-free, because fruits have a lot of flavor that I think when you mix them with milk or cream they tend to loose some of that flavor (don't get me wrong I love dairy ice cream, if you ask me to make a vanilla and nutella I am there!).
To make this fresh and yummy I decided to mix the mangos and strawberries and insted of useing a water-sugar base I subbed for creamy coconut milk, giving it a bit of coconut flavor and that almost ice cream consistency that we all love.
You are not going to believe that this recipe is so simple that it only requires 5 ingredients: mangos, strawberries, coconut milk, sugar and salt. The tricky part of this recipe will be our ice cream maker, I borrowed from my sister her ice cream maker Kitchen Aid attachment, but the great thing about this recipe is that if you like soft serve, you can directly freeze the fruit mix and end up with fresh sorbet.
For the Kitchen Aid attachment you have to place it in the freezer for at least 24hours, if not halfway through the process the attachment will start to melt and we won't get that beautiful ice cream we are striving for.
