  • Total Time: 4+ hours (includes freezing)
  • Yield: 4 servings (1/2 cup each) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized fresh mangoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder (or cayenne pepper)
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop the mangoes: Peel the mangoes, remove the pit, and chop them into small chunks.
  2. Blend the ingredients: Place the chopped mangoes in a blender or food processor with the water, lime juice, and sugar. Blend until smooth.
