Recipe Pro-Tips

Be patient. Depending on the strength of your food processor or blender, the blending process can take a minute or two. Be consistent with the blending and scrape down the sides of the mixture as needed
Sweeten to taste. Sweeter mangos may need less agave syrup, and more tart ones may need more. Once the sorbet has achieved a smooth consistency, sample a bit of it, and add more agave, a teaspoon at a time if needed.
Prevent burnout. Even high-speed blenders can struggle to blend the thick and cold sorbet. Prevent the motor from burning out by blending on high speed and pushing the sorbet down into the blades with the tamper. If the motor becomes loud or starts to emit a burning smell, give it a minute or two to cool down before resuming.
Thaw slightly. If using an older food processor or blender with a lower-powered motor, thawing the mangos just slightly before blending can help support the blending process. Leave them at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, or until they are lightly softened and have a frosty texture.
