Mango Mint Sorbet Recipe
Okay, so I’m super excited about today’s post. For several reasons. But first, the one that benefits you most — Today I’m launching a giveaway for the National Mango Board’s new cookbook called “Fresh Flavorful Festive Mango Recipes Fit for a Fête.” Yes, that’s quite a mouthful, but trust me, you’re going to want a copy of this! It includes 50 recipes in five delicious categories: breakfast, appetizers, main courses, side dishes and desserts. All the mangoes!!
A second reason I’m excited about this is because I have a recipe featured in the book! Not this mango mint sorbet recipe that I’m bringing you today, but a delicious and delicate mango and crab salad recipe. It’s served over fresh tomatoes and dressed with a champagne vinaigrette. Yum, yum! Below is a snapshot of it from the book. I just love crab and mango and tomatoes all together. Quite heavenly.
So the third reason I’m excited about this blog post today is that I get to bring you a brand new recipe. I actually created this recipe a couple of months ago with the few left over mangoes I had from creating my crab salad recipe. I came up with this totally by accident. I found myself with both mangoes and mint syrup on hand so I was like, “I wonder if this will make a good sorbet.” And guess what, it did! The sweetness of the mango is complimented well by the earthiness of the mint. I don’t know that I’d ever imagined them together, but I’ve found that some of my most creative ideas come when I just use what I have on hand. Funny how that works, eh?
In all, this is the third sorbet recipe I include here on Culicurious. You may remember my strawberry and sparkling wine sorbet or my key lime and mango sorbet from last year. Those were both really tasty, and the mango/key lime version served as the inspiration for this recipe. I love sorbets because they’re super simple, and this one is really good with helping you use up some of that glut of summer mint that’s just growing like weeds at this point. I sometimes find my self wondering what I’m going to do with all that mint. Then I remember it’s great for cocktails, syrups, iced tea, flavored water and sorbets, just to name a few. Mint really is one of the most versatile herbs out there. I’m a big fan.
