I love the ease of making sorbet and the joy of enjoy its fresh fruit flavor. While my first love is a blackberry coconut sorbet, a close second is this peach mango sorbet. It’s fruity, icy (yet still creamy!) and can be made without an ice cream maker, which is a big win in my book.

Recipe Ingredients
What makes this recipe so great is its limited ingredient list. You can find all these items at your local grocery store, and you won’t even need a list to remember them!
- Frozen mango: I like buying this in bulk from Costco to cut down on cost. You can also chop up fresh mango and freeze them yourself. I’ve got an easy guide on how to cut a mango.
- Frozen peaches: These are easy to find in the frozen fruit aisle, or freeze your own!
- Fresh orange juice: Look for 100% juice (or make your own), no added sugar is necessary. This helps achieve that gorgeous sunny color as well as adds to the flavor.
This has the sweetness of a dessert without any added sugar, yet you can add in a bit of maple syrup for added sweetness if you wish. It also contains potassium, vitamin C, fiber and even a little protein; the added bonus of using whole fruit!
Easy Add-Ins
Feel free to jazz up this simple recipe in a variety of ways. You can easily add in frozen strawberries, raspberries, fresh lime juice, and more to customize it.
Top your finished product with some homemade chamoy sauce for a little spice, some lime zest or fresh berries. If you are serving this at an adults-only gathering then mix in some vodka or the alcohol of your choice for a little bit of happy hour.
Try a scoop of sorbet with some sparkling water (flavored or not) for a super fun treat!
How to Make Mango Sorbet
No extra bowls, cups or prep is needed for this simple recipe! Just grab your blender and let’s get started.
- Combine the mango, peaches and oranges in a blender and puree until smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed, and add a little extra liquid if your blender is struggling.
- For the soft-serve sorbet: serve immediately after blending. For the scoopable sorbet: transfer to an air-tight container and chill it in the freezer until firm.
- Store leftovers in the freezer.
If you want to add in maple syrup or the natural sweetener of your choice, do so during the first step. If you need extra liquid then use a little more orange juice or some water. Any add-ins should be added during the blending stage.
Alternative Blending Options
If you don’t have a high-powered blender, that’s okay! This mango sorbet recipe can also be mixed in a food processor or regular blender. Just blend a bit longer, stop and scrape down the sides as needed and be patient while you achieve a smooth texture.
If you are using one of these alternative options then feel free to thaw your frozen fruit a bit before blending, or use fresh fruit instead. This way your machine won’t have to work overtime to puree.
FAQs
Mango sorbet is a frozen dessert made with mango, peaches and orange juice. It is blended in a blender (no ice cream maker needed!) and is naturally dairy-free, yet can have a similar texture to ice cream.
If you want to fancy up your frozen dessert then you can add in some fresh sprigs of mint, add a bit of heat with chamoy sauce or toss in some fresh berries. You can even top it with some coconut whipped cream if you’re feeling extra sassy.
No! Sorbet is typically water + fruit + sugar, so it is naturally dairy-free. My version uses natural fruit sugar and orange juice as the sweetener, and juice as the liquid, so it’s incredibly easy to make and enjoy.
