Mango Sorbet with Ginger Ale

float · ginger · ginger ale · lemongrass · mango ·

A summer delight, a spicy fiery gingery hit against the sweet delicious luscious mango!

I whisk up a basic sorbet concoction with mango pulp and a simple lemongrass-infused sugar syrup, set overnight, and then simply toss into a large wine glass, and add a bit of finger ale for fizz. Of course, you have full permission to sub with a chilled prosecco – as I have done countless times!

I did not have a popsicle mould, so I used silicon mini cupcake moulds which I must admit, was a lot of fun to pop into the mouth at any odd time!

The Recipe
Serves

Ingredients

  • Mango sorbet:
  • 1 mango, pulped and juiced, strained
  • 2 tbsp lemongrass sugar syrup
  • ginger ale (1/4 can)
  • fresh lemongrass stick
  • Lemongrass Syrup:
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 10 x 5 cm stalks of fresh lemongrass

Instructions

  • Lemongrass Syrup:
  • Place all the ingredients together in the sauce pot and bring to a boil, followed by a simmer, stirring occasionally until you get your sugar syrup consistency
  • Pour the syrup into a glass jar through a sieve and store until ready to use
  • Mix the mango crush with the sugar syrup and stir well
  • Pour into your setting mould and freeze overnight
  • Take them out and place in a wine glass
  • Pour ginger ale on top – just a bit to fill about 1-2 cm at the bottom and stir with fresh lemongrass
  • Top up the ginger ale as needed

This is a cake inspired by a children's story book which had multiple mentions of a sticky tea cake with notes of ginger and cinnamon and it instantly brought a vision in my head! So I made up this recipe which now has become a monthly bake especially for the kids - made with whole wheat flour, brown sugar and honey, black tea, ginger, pumpkin spice, and lot's of orange zest and a sneaky slather of orange marmalade! optional is the dark chocolate chunks!
