When it comes to frozen delights, Sorbet is a must, and I cannot skip this simple frozen fruit delight during summer. Today I am going to share a Tropical Sorbet, precisely Pineapple and Mango sorbet with a hint of lemon juice. And, I did not use any ice-cream machine or churner for this recipe. Aloha !!! Bring the tropical flavor to your home with this delightful five ingredient no churn sorbet. Here is the Mango and Pineapple sorbet recipe with step by step pictures.
Sorbet
So, what’s sorbet? It is a frozen dairy-free dessert made with sweetened water and any flavoring, mostly fruit flavors. So basically it is fruit puree + sugar. So what’s granita? It is similar to sorbet, but the texture is crunchier than sorbet. Let me talk more about it when I post the granita recipe. So let’s just stick to sorbet recipe for now. :-)
I have mentioned in my Cheese Danish recipe that kiddo doesn’t prefer the lemon flavor in his desserts. But I wanted to change that as I wanted him to relish the zillion citrus-based desserts. I wanted to incorporate the lemon flavor little by little, and I started off with this dessert. I only added about two tsps of lemon juice, but I would recommend going up to 1 tbsp if your child prefers the lemon/lime flavor. If your pineapple is not sweet and a bit tangy, then play carefully with the lemon juice. It’s always better to check the sweetness of the fruit before preparing any fruit-based desserts.
In my case, both my mango and pineapple were super sweet, and with the 3 tbsps of heaped sugar, the lemon juice lifted the sweetness. Also, there is no set measurement for this recipe. I used one small mango and two rings of pineapple which came to this below proportion. But you can always adjust the fruit quantity as per your taste preference.
Without any further ado, here comes the recipe.
Tropical Sorbet or Mango and Pineapple Sorbet
Ingredients:
- Chopped Pineapple – 2 cups
- Chopped Mango – 1.5 cups

Prep-Work:

Steps:

Scoop it out and garnish it with berries or pomegranate arils and mint leaves serve it cold. Freeze the rest.
Notes:

- Adjust the fresh fruit and the quantity as per your preference.
- After adding the fruit puree mix in a freezer safe container, you can cover it with a cling wrap or aluminum foil to avoid freezer burns.
