How to Make Mango And Chilli Sorbet

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup water. Stir with a wooden spoon over medium heat until sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. Finely chop 2-3 small birdseye chillies. Bruise thoroughly using a mortar and pestle to release their oils and intensify their flavor.
  4. Combine the pureed mango flesh (approx 2 cups), cooled sugar syrup, and bruised chillies in a blender.
  5. Use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to rinse any remaining chilli juice from the mortar and pestle into the blender.
  6. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and homogenous.
  7. In a separate large bowl, beat the egg white until soft peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the mango mixture into the egg whites until fully incorporated.
  9. Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, until thick and frozen.
  10. Once the sorbet is thick, remove it from the ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) to allow the sorbet to fully harden.
  11. Let the sorbet stand at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to slightly soften. This step is less crucial if the sorbet has been made a day in advance.
