Hibiscus Mango Sorbet

June 19, 2014 Leave a Comment

Although I enjoying being creative with ice cream and sorbet flavors, I am often inspired by others in the food world.  Lately I have been drooling over the ice creams and sorbets of fellow food bloggers on Pinterest.  Along with the warm weather has come a flood of new frozen treat recipes, and I find myself wanting to spend more time putting together delicious recipes other than my own.

Hibiscus flowers are a tart and beautiful ingredient.  I previously used these flowers to flavor a Hibiscus Lime Frozen Yogurt.  When I came upon a recipe for Hibiscus Mango Sorbet from Lindsay at Love & Olive Oil during a recent Pinterest search, I instantly knew that I needed to try the recipe.  Her recipe calls for dried whole hibiscus flowers ,but since I only had dried hibiscus powder on hand I adapted the recipe for my needs.  I also added a pinch of cardamom for some added tartness. A beautiful and refreshing sorbet, perfect for the summer.  Enjoy!

Hibiscus Mango Sorbet
Adapted from recipe by Love & Olive Oil
Makes 1 quart

2-3 large, ripe Champagne or regular mangoes (about 2 cups puree)
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from 2-3 limes)
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon dried hibiscus powder
Pinch of ground cardamom
Peel and pit mangoes.  Cut fruit into chunks and place in a blender with sugar, water, lime juice, and salt.  Puree the mixture until smooth.  Add hibiscus powder and cardamom; blend to combine.  Take a taste and add more lime juice or cardamom for added tartness, if needed.  Chill sorbet base in the refrigerator until completely cool, at least two hours.  Pour into your ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.  Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
