Mango Sorbet

March 1, 2023 by Asian Inspirations Admin Leave a Comment

To Make Sorbet
Bring the mirin to the boil with 100ml of water. Boil down to a syrup consistency, which will take about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to cool.
Peel and dice the mango, mix in the mirin syrup and blend until smooth.
Pour the mango mixture into either a shallow dish or half round moulds, and place in the freezer for at least 12 hours. Stir a few times during freezing period. Or if available, use an ice-cream maker and churn until it reaches sorbet consistency.

To Make Mango Coulis
Place all ingredients for coulis into a small saucepan and cook on low-medium heat until mango is soft.
Blend until very smooth and then run the mixture through a mesh strainer to remove any mango fibres and ensure a very smooth coulis.
Transfer to a small container and refrigerate overnight.

To Serve
Remove the sorbet from the freezer and allow to soften for a few minutes. Remove from the mould, or using a wet spoon take a scoop of the sorbet.
Swirl some swirls of coulis onto the plate and top with the fruits of choice. Dust with icing sugar.

Remove from water and place into bowl of cold water to stop them from cooking further.https://asianinspirations.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/R03068-Purple-Sweet-Potato-Crystal-Tang-Yuan-7.jpg
