Instructions
- Add the mango chunks, fresh lime juice, honey or maple syrup, lime zest, and chili powder to a blender or food processor.

Notes
- Frozen mango can be used for an even creamier and colder texture.
- Add pineapple or peach for extra fruity flavor variations.
- Blend in coconut milk for a creamier sorbet texture.
- Use Tajín seasoning instead of chili powder for added citrus flavor.
- Add extra honey or maple syrup for a sweeter sorbet.
- No ice cream maker is required for this recipe.
- Store the sorbet in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks.
- Press parchment paper directly onto the surface to reduce ice crystals.
- Stir the sorbet once during freezing for a smoother texture if desired.
