Thai - Lime & Mango Sherbet image

Once you have made your own sherbet you will never buy from the store again. It is so easy and the flavor is incredible. You will receive such accolades for this dish. It makes the best smoothies. I can't wait for the summer to enjoy this treat again. Please note that the cooking time is freezing time.
