Mango-rum sorbet
Serving ice cream for dessert at a children’s party is always a safe idea. A lot of parents these days bring in a sorbetero with his own ice cream cart and he serves the ice cream to the kids in cones. The set-up is attractive, uniquely Filipino and the host and hostess are saved the trouble of serving the ice cream themselves.
But what if you’re hosting an all-adult sit-down dinner party? Is ice cream a good choice for dessert? Yes, it is, naturally, but not exactly exciting, is it? Unless you have a special ice cream recipe and you make the ice cream yourself, store-bought ice cream is simply too ordinary. Not the kind of dessert that will elicit appreciative ooohs and ahhhs. And definitely not the kind of dessert that will make your dinner party a conversation topic among your crowd for the weeks to come. So, why not forget about store-bought ice cream and make an unforgettable dessert, properly laced with a little alcohol for the adult palate, that requires all of 15 minutes to prepare? You don’t need an ice cream maker either.
You probably think I’m joking. Fifteen minutes without an ice cream maker? I’m serious. You will need a blender though and you have to freeze the sorbet overnight. And, for best results, you have to rake through the mixture with a fork every few hours or so to make sure that no ice crystals are formed. Beyond that, it’s a breeze. My husband just had a scoop and he said it was great. And he’s very critical, you know? So, if he says it’s great, it must be. Of course, I’ve had a scoop before he did and I already knew that.

oohlala, sounds great, and easy too. Will definitely try this.. and then minus the rum for the kids.
Hi Connie! I’ve been reading you’re blog a lot this past few weeks and have tagged it na so i can access it anywhere:)
Anyway, usually i use any dark rum for adult desserts. Yummy, especially sa canonigo sauce! I was wondering, there’s this mango rum in the market. Do you think okay yun for your dessert or overkill na? Thanks!
chats, tama ka dyan. my kids said there was a “taste” and they asked for real ice cream hahahaha
filipina42, am not sure about that. it might make the sorbet too sweet…??

Hi. I just made halang-halang tonight. I think I have commented on what it means in Bisaya before, but it might have been lost during the time when you were having template/server problems. Halang-halang literally means spicy-spicy in Bisaya.
Thank you to your recipe, I was able to recreate one of the favorite dishes in my childhood. :-0
Here’s a recipe for an instant and inexpensive Mango Sorbet I’d like to share with you and your readers;
1 large mango ,peeled and deseeded
1/4 cup caster sugar or fine sugar
3 cups ice cubes
Process or blend all ingredients until smooth consistency and voila! A delicious Mango Sorbet! Enjoy!
hi connie! your blog is so helpful kasi super simple lang lagi the way you give it out..sa ibang sites kasi parang complicated. I check out your site whenever I’m not sure of my ingredients..very helpful. Keep on blogging!!!
Good Day Connie!
I love this recipe. Hehe it reminds me of what I did before when I threw a movie-night dinner with my friends at my home. Of course we all are familiar with rootbeer float right? So instead of doing the usual - frozen mug, rootbeer and vanilla ice cream, I made a rootbeer and coffee granita. I did the exact method as you did in making the sorbet but since rootbeer and coffee is too loose, it’ll not be as smooth as your sorbet still delicious though. Then I just put softened vanilla ice cream on top with pistachio nuts!
“movie-night dinner with my friends at my home”
My gosh, we haven’t done that in over a year. And pistachio nuts on vanilla ice cream just sounds heavenly!
I bet your Mango- Rum Sorbet recipe would be perfect for smoothie.
Do you have a recipe for sorbetes or “dirty ice-cream”? I’ve read that the only difference is that sorbetes is made with coconut milk instead of milk. I’ve been searching for a recipe with no luck.
Home-made ice cream maker: You’ll need two containers with tight lids — one big and one small. The small container has to fit inside the big container. Put your ice-cream mixture inside the small container replace the lid. Then place it inside the big container; center it, so you can put ice in the space around the small container. Then ask the kids to roll it around the table…. fun time. You can also do it the adult way and stir it, then you won’t need lids except for when you put it in the freezer.
The more ice, the better — so if you can find a really big container to put your small container in, the quicker it will be for your mixture to solidify.
Have fun!!!
I am a new mom and wife, and is very much eager to learn how to cook. I just want to know what is the difference between a light soy sauce from a dark soy sauce. And can you please recommend a brand of those which I can buy? Thanks!
