Mango Sorbet (Only 3 Ingredients)

Mango sorbet is the one of the easiest healthy dessert or snack recipes! My kids love desserts with fruit and wanted to learn how to make sorbet. For this sorbet recipe we used already frozen fruit, even though I had fresh mango and pineapples on hand. This recipe is super quick, but you need to work with frozen fruit and we were too impatient to wait. That means though that you can easily enjoy this three ingredient recipe year round!
Mango Sorbet Ingredients
To make this mango sorbet, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- frozen mango: We purchased our mango frozen but you can also freeze fresh mango if preferred. You must use frozen fruit however for this recipe.
- frozen pineapple: We added frozen pineapple for an additional flavor but you can replace this with more frozen mango if desired.
- maple syrup: We used maple syrup as a liquid sweetener but you can just as easily replace this with agave nectar, honey or fruit juice like orange juice or pineapple juice.
- toppings: Optional toppings include toasted coconut, maraschino cherries, chopped nuts, etc to add to the tropical feel but they aren’t necessary to enjoy this sorbet.
How to Make Homemade Sorbet
All you need is frozen fruit, some sort of sweet liquid and a really good blender. I highly recommend a Ninja if you don’t already have one! We love ours.
We used 1 1/2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup to sweeten our sorbet but you can really use whatever sweetener you want or even fruit juice for no added sugar.
Wesley loves working the blender! It is a great way to get kids involved in this recipe.
The frozen fruit will just look like really tiny chunks when it is finished.
You’ll want to give it a stir and mash it down a bit to get the consistency of sorbet, much like this mock Cherry Banana Ice Cream we made last year.
Doesn’t it look delicious? It is ready to eat in only 5 mins!
You can play around with different fruit options such as kiwi sorbet with lime but this mango pineapple sorbet is really a wonderful flavor combination.
If you want to take this frozen dessert to the next level, make it a tropical sorbet by adding some toasted coconut and a cherry on top.
My kids went nuts for this tropical sorbet and loved the added crunch and flavor of the toasted coconut. Learn how to toast coconut in my yogurt dipped banana recipe!
Can other frozen fruit be used to make sorbet?
Absolutely! Switch up this recipe by using other flavor combinations. You can use four cups of your favorite frozen fruit such as raspberries, peaches, bananas, strawberries, cherries, etc. Or you can do combinations such as raspberry peach or strawberry banana!

The Mango Pineapple Sorbet is a refreshing dessert that I want to make this summer with the kids. We love mangos and pineapple!
I have never made a sorbet before. The kids would love this, especially in summer time.
This looks delicious Emilie. It has two of my favorite fruits. Can’t wait to try it.
