Mango-Lime Ice image

Pastry chef Jennifer Jones of Topolobampo in Chicago shared this recipe as part of a [Cinco de Mayo feature on Mexican desserts](/articlesguides/holidays/cincodemayo/mexican-desserts). Jones encourages you to use different fruits in this refreshing dessert, but recommends sticking to ones that are sweet but have acidity. Raspberries are a perfect example.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large mangoes (about 3 1/2 pounds total), peeled and coarsely chopped
Zest of 1 orange
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the mangoes, orange zest, sugar, lime juice, and 1 cup water. Process until the mixture is smooth. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl then press gently on and discard any solids (there will be about 3 cups syrup). Transfer to a freezer-safe dish, cover with plastic, and freeze until the mixture is firm 2 inches in from the sides, about 2 hours. Scrape into a food processor and process until the mixture is slushy. Repeat the freezing and processing 2 more times, then freeze for at least 1 hour before serving. DO AHEAD: The ice can be made ahead and stored in the freezer, well wrapped, up to 2 weeks.
