If you love mangoes and frozen treats, this Ninja CREAMi mango sorbet is about to become your new favorite dessert. It’s fruity, refreshing, and incredibly easy to make!
I’ve been on a sorbet-making spree lately—my strawberry sorbet and blackberry sorbet was a hit, and now it's time for mango to shine.
Normally, I'd use fresh mangoes, but this time I had to settle for frozen ones from Costco. And while nothing beats the sweetness of Philippine mangoes, these frozen chunks did the trick! If you love Haagen-Dazs mango sorbet or a scoop of mango gelato, you're going to love this creamy homemade version.
