Ingredients
• 1 large ripe mango, about 400g / 2 cups, peeled and cubed
• 2 ripe passion fruits, pulp and seeds scooped out
• 1 large egg white
Instructions
1. Method
2. In a clean, dry bowl, use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the egg white until stiff, glossy peaks form. This means when you lift the whisk, the peak holds its shape without flopping over.
3. Place the cubed mango and passion fruit pulp into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
4. Gently fold the beaten egg white into the fruit purée using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the air in the egg whites to create a light texture.
5. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, such as a loaf pan. Smooth the top with your spatula.
6. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the sorbet is firm and fully set.
7. To serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop or slice and garnish with fresh mango slices or extra passion fruit pulp.

Pro Tips
• For an even creamier texture, use frozen mango chunks. This will give you a thicker, soft-serve consistency right out of the blender.
• If your fruit isn’t very sweet, feel free to add a tablespoon of honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar to the blender.
• For a smoother, less icy sorbet without an ice cream maker, stir the mixture vigorously with a fork every 45-60 minutes for the first 3 hours of freezing.
• To make this recipe vegan, simply substitute the egg white with 2 tablespoons of aquafaba, the liquid from a can of chickpeas.
