• 1 -2 tablespoon sugar (to taste) or 1 -2 tablespoon splenda granular (to taste)
• 5 tablespoons lime juice, divided
• lime zest, strips (optional)

Recipe

• 1 peel and cut up the mango into chunks. puree mango and 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a blender or with an immersion blender. set aside. (don't worry if the puree is tart, the lime juice mellows in the freezing process.)

• 3 whisk egg whites to soft peaks. add sugar or splenda.
• 4 gently fold the egg whites into the mango.
• 5 (if you are using an ice cream maker, follow the directions for your machine here. in mine, this takes about 20-22 minutes.)
• 6 place the mixture into a freezer proof bowl for 2 hours. take the bowl out of the freezer and mix to break up the ice chunks and return to the freezer. allow it to freeze until firm or solid.
• 7 if sorbet is frozen solid prior to serving, place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving.
• 8 scoop sorbet into bowls and garnish with lime zest strips.
