What incredible color! We’ll have to see if the Indian grocers here carry Alphonso mangoes.

That sounds and looks delicious! And not an ice cream maker in sight.

This looks like a lovely dessert for The Underground Restaurant.

Well, I think you already know how much I love alphonso mangoes too! This sorbet does look divine!
My local Indian grocery store just switched to Kesar mangoes (as their alphonso mangoes were coming in a little _too_ ripe and a touch battered so I’ve just bought a box of those. Honestly, to me, they really taste the same. That same intense, perfumey, magical flavour. Just the same.
I have 8 left so maybe I’ll bite the bullet and make some sorbet out of some…

Divine – I can never fathom how something so fresh and fruity can be so rich it’s almost creamy?

Wow, what an incredible colour and texture the Alphonso mangoes have! I hadn’t heard of this particular variety before… wonder if I can find them in Bristol…

I love mango sorbet, but have never eaten with Alphonsos before – definitely will now!

Dan – You must look out for the Alphonso’s! They are amazing. Do you have an Asian grocer near you?
Lizzie – yeah it was well easy. I reckon a bit of zest grated on top would make it perfect and it would look rather nice too.
A Girl Has to Eat – I am making it my mission to eat as many as possible before they run out!
MyLastBite – That is not good news I’m glad I could be of service in cheering you up though.
Lisa – I have to say this is now my favourite flavour of sorbet ever. It was so simple to make too – even I couldn’t stuff it up.
Peter – It would be fantastic after your grilled calamari, no?
Kim – I am hugely jealous! A mango festival?! Sounds amazing.
Fran39 – Thanks Fran, for some reason I didn’t get it so thanks for leaving a comment. I’ve sent you a message on London Food Bloggers.
Richard – That is a shame. Yes they do get a lot cheaper when they are riper. These were under ripes when i bought them and needed a good few days to ripen. It was an agonising wait.
The Graphic Foodie – Yeah I don’t think it would be half as good with ‘regular’ mangoes.
Forkful of Spaghetti – I know, I’ve said ti now so it will probably rain…
Gourmet Chick – Thanks! Yeah I bet it seems outrageous how much we pay for them here. Totally worth it though.
Jess – Hi! And thanks That sorbet sounds lovely although I haven’t tasted Campari since a rather unfortunate incident involving excessive consumption and a white jumper when I was fifteen.
Oyster Culture – I was rather proud of myself I must say…
pipigs corner – isn’t it? Shocking orange! A happy sorbet.
Jenny – Yes do, it will look pretty too. I am kicking myself for not thinking of it earlier.
Jenn – They are the king (or Queen) of mangoes for sure.
