Thank goodness mangoes have become so widely available in the United

States. Their intense perfume fills your kitchen with the fragrance of

the tropics, and their juicy texture makes one of the most appealing

fruit ices ever. Focusing the flavors with a little lime juice (and

orange rind) makes for a simple, refreshing dessert.

 

ChupaNote: Haven't made this in a couple of years. But, as I recall,

we use grated mandarin orange and meyer lemon instead of orange rind.

We also mixed some mandarin orange and meyer lemon juice to replace

the lime juice. It came out great. This is a very forgiving recipe.

Haven't tried it with sugar substitute yet.
