This easy homemade mango sorbet is my favorite frozen treat for hot summer days! It is super creamy, perfectly sweet and oh so refreshing. Best of all, there is no ice cream maker or churning needed and it takes less than 1 minute to put together. This recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free and refined sugar-free!
This quick and simple mango sorbet recipe is perfect for a healthy dairy-free treat for kids or adults! It is ready instantly with no freezing or ice cream machine required. Because the mangoes are already frozen, no further freezer time is needed. This recipe only requires just one ingredient - frozen chunks of mango. So easy!
My original recipe for mango sorbet was featured in the Washington Post years ago, so I definitely have a special place in my heart for this sweet treat. Back then I added a little agave syrup and fresh orange juice, which is still a great way to enjoy it, but since then I've come to enjoy it with just 100% mango. This allows me to fully appreciate the intense mango flavor with no added sugar.
Blending the tropical mangoes creates a silky smooth texture all on its own. So break out the high-powered blender (or food processor) and see for yourself!

How to Make this Mango Sorbet
Simply toss the frozen mango into your blender and use the blender's tamper to push the chunks into the blades. Keep pushing the tamper into the blades until creamy.
If you have difficulty blending, a splash or two of non-dairy milk will help but is certainly not required. Taste and add a touch of maple syrup for added sweetness if desired. That's it!
Enjoy immediately. Instant desserts are the very best desserts if you ask me! And feel free to garnish with a little lime zest or fresh mint.
Health Benefits of Mangoes
This recipe is free of refined sugars found in sorbets from grocery stores. It is naturally sweet from mangoes which are such a wonderful fruit that can satisfy your sweet tooth while packing in important nutrients.
Mangoes offer fiber, potassium and vitamins A and C, which together boost immunity, improve heart health and reduce your risk for many chronic diseases.
Do the Mangoes Have to be Frozen?
In this recipe, yes. The frozen fruit naturally transforms into sorbet here, which is something that ripe mangoes would not do. Making sorbet from fresh mangoes would be an entirely different recipe in order to achieve the proper texture.
Frozen mango chunks are cheaper than fresh mangoes, plus they save time in that they have already been diced. With just one ingredient and a high-speed blender, you can enjoy a naturally sweetened version of sorbet.
This homemade sorbet is better than store-bought versions which can oftentimes not have authentic flavor and have an icy texture. This version tastes like authentically tropically sweet mango, contains less sugar and is mega creamy!
And the best part is that this recipe is vegan, paleo, dairy-free, grain-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free, nut-free and gluten-free, which makes it a great option for the next time you're serving anyone with food allergies or food sensitivities.

Description
This easy homemade mango sorbet is my favorite frozen treat for hot summer days! It is super creamy, perfectly sweet and oh so refreshing. Best of all, there is no ice cream maker or churning needed and it takes less than 1 minute to put together. This recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free and refined sugar-free!
The tropical, sweet mango becomes silky and creamy when blended. A touch of maple syrup helps bring out the mango's natural sweetness but you could skip it if desired. A splash or two of non-dairy milk helps with blending if needed but isn't required either.
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen unsweetened mango chunks
- Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, fresh lime juice, pinch of salt, splash of coconut milk*
- Optional garnish: fresh mint
Instructions
- Add frozen mango (and any desired optional add-ins) to a food processor and process for 30-60 seconds. This is my preferred method. You can also use your blender. With the blender, you may need to use the tamper (also known as a plunger) with the blender lid on to push the ingredients into the blades as they move slowly on low speed. Continue to push the frozen mango into the blades until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If your blender is having trouble wait a couple minutes for your frozen mango to thaw a bit more.
- Once the sorbet is smooth and creamy and no chunks remain, scoop it out of the blender using a spoon or an ice cream scooper. Divide into bowls and garnish with fresh mint if you are feeling fancy. Serve and enjoy immediately.
Notes
*I usually just stick to the frozen mango but you can flavor it with these add-ins.
Store leftovers covered in the freezer for 1-2 hours. Any longer and it will start to freeze solid and be difficult to scoop. If stored for longer than 2 hours you will want to let the mango sorbet sit at room temperature until soft again. I find the texture is best when fresh.
This recipe makes four small (but satisfying!) portions. Double the recipe if you desire larger portions.
