Pro Tips
Use ripe mangoes and strawberries for the best flavor.

For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of coconut milk.
Troubleshooting
If the sorbet is too sweet, balance the flavor with a bit more lime juice.
If it freezes too hard, blend in a little warm water to soften it up.
Recipe Variations
Add a splash of coconut milk for a tropical flavor.
Incorporate other fruits like kiwi or pineapple for a mixed fruit sorbet.
Healthy Alternatives
