5-Minute Mango Sorbet (in the blender!)
I can’t believe July has already arrived. We’ve been filling up on grilled meat, vegetables from the farmers market, melon, and frozen smoothie treats like that mango sorbet up there.
Do you need an ice cream maker to make mango sorbet?
Nope. No ice cream maker is required.
Making a frozen delight without using the ice cream maker is such a convenience. The simplest method is to use a powerful blender like a Blendtec or Vitamix, but if you don’t have one like that, no problem. I have you.
What’s in mango sorbet?
Mango sorbet, or any other frozen fruit sorbet, has the advantage of being very understated.
5-Minute Dairy-Free Mango Sorbet
Mango Sorbet in 5 Minutes
No elaborate preparations or simple syrup need be made. There are only four things required:
- Frozen Fruit
- Some kind of liquid, like milk or juice
- Something acidic, like citrus juice to brighten the flavor.
- Sweetener (optional — you may not even need this!)
Use of pineapple juice satisfies three of these criteria: liquid to aid in blending, acidity to enhance flavor, and an increase in sweetness.
Every day, we have at least five different types of fruit in the freezer that are ready to be blended into a smoothie or quickly turned into sorbet or ice cream.
We ALWAYS keep frozen mango and strawberries on hand (mmm, strawberry sorbet is so nice). Occasionally, blueberries or a berry mixture. also pineapple.
And when an avocado is ripe and available (which is typically the case), we create Paleo Chocolate Ice Cream if we’re not feeling fruity. For me, having a strong blender is worthwhile only for that reason. I practically use it daily for various purposes. My favorite.
What Makes Mango Sorbet Creamy?
Well, mangoes.
Some fruits are prone to creaminess by nature. Other “creamy” fruits include bananas and avocados.
For the creamy component, I typically add avocado or coconut cream, but some fruits already have a naturally creamy texture. One is mangoes.
Bananas are healthy, but I’d rather eat beef liver. Shudder
I usually mix almond and coconut milk with some fruit juice for the liquid.
The tangy flavors of pineapple, orange, and pomegranate juices are excellent for bringing out the flavors of other foods. It also doesn’t require much. You might also use a tiny bit of lime or lemon juice to avoid making it overly tart.
We often consume it straight from the blender, but if for some bizarre reason you must wait to consume it, it will freeze just well. Just give it a little time to soften before scooping.
See how simple it is to make!
ADVICE: Freeze the container you intend to use to hold the sorbet or ice cream PRIOR to filling it. It will freeze considerably more quickly and lessen the sorbet’s iciness.
Additionally, make sure you have plenty of mangoes in the freezer because you’ll need to make more if you’re feeding more than four people. It’s fortunate that it only takes five minutes.
Is Mango Sorbet Healthy? Is it Paleo?
I guess it depends on how you define health. I mean, being healthy is such a personal thing.
Yes, this fits the bill if you’re looking for whole-food based meals. Technically speaking, it IS prehistoric.
Mangoes and pineapple juice, however, are very high in sugar. Even though it is natural sugar, it will still cause your blood sugar to soar.
If you define “healthy” as being low in carbs or keto, then this meal is absolutely not for you.
It’s straightforward, basic, and whole-food based, and I adore that. Compared to whatever they could get from the ice cream man, I’d much rather have my kids eat this.

Learn how to make creamy sorbet in minutes!
An “icy” Italian dessert known as sorbet often contains a lot of fruit and is dairy-free. But today, we’re utilizing frozen fruit and a blender to make things incredibly easy and quick rather than using an ice cream maker and waiting hours for the completed product.
This particular recipe is loaded with creamy bananas, tangy sweet mangos, and lime juice for a hint of acidity. Each bite is deliciously sweet and wonderfully cooling, as you’ll discover.
Ingredients – What You Need
For this dish, you only need 4 straightforward ingredients. For the whole list and advice on ingredients, see below!
Mango: Use store-bought frozen mango pieces or freeze your own!
Bananas: Bananas are used to make this sorbet a little creamier. Freeze your own banana pieces overnight or use store-bought!
Lime: for some acidity and flavor! Lime goes perfectly with the mango flavor.
Maple syrup: for a touch of sweetness!
How to Make Mango Lime Sorbet (without an ice cream maker)
First, combine the frozen bananas, mango, lime juice, and maple syrup in a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend and pulse. The ingredients will initially separate into little pieces. Turn the blender off, remove the lid to stir the ingredients, then turn it back on to keep blending. The combination can appear to need liquid, but as it mixes, it will continue to become smooth.
The sorbet should be extremely smooth and creamy when it is finished. Serve right away and delight in!
Tips for Success
Blender vs food processor –Both will deliver excellent outcomes. You can get quick results using a blender (usually a vitamix) in approximately 2-3 minutes. A food processor takes a little longer, around 4-5 minutes, but still does the job just as well.
Freeze your own fruit – Use frozen fruit from the store or freeze your own for an even richer flavor! I advise using very ripe mango and ripe bananas (many brown specks on the bananas). To make sure the fruit is sufficiently solid, freeze it over night.
Remember: No liquid is needed –Despite appearances, there is no need for liquid to assist bind the ingredients while they are in the blender. The frozen fruit will defrost and transform into a creamy dreamy consistency over time.
Topping ideas – You can garnish your sorbet with chunks of fresh mango or banana! Additionally excellent are chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
Freeze for later – If you’re not going to serve this right away, move the sorbet right away to a glass airtight container and freeze for several hours.
