I set out to make something more like a sherbet, a mango lassi ice. I calculated the amount of sweetening needed for the right texture and flavor in a blend of buttermilk and mango. As a general rule, the sugar in fruit ice should be 15 to 20 percent of the weight of the fruit. This time, I used honey instead of sugar. The result is a creamy, tangy sherbet.

Can anyone suggest a substitute for corn syrup?

Beth

What does spin the ice mean in the directions?

Had some disconnect with this: 2 MEDIUM Miami yard mangoes (varieties unknown, but juicy) yielded the 2 1/4 cups, which weighed 525 grams. But it worked anyway, ended up with lovely texture. However, between all that citrus and the tangy buttermilk, the end result tastes like pineapple. Not bad, but not mango. Next time I think I will leave out the citrus, add some dark rum instead.

This needs fresh ginger

So easy and delicious! I skipped the corn syrup, used a tablespoon of simple syrup (already had some) and just 3 tablespoons of honey. The mangoes were already sweet; I’m pretty sure that I could have used even less sweeteners. I blended it with ice cubes and we drank it like the lassis that we order in Indian restaurants.

Delicious. I substituted corn syrup for leftover cardamom simple syrup I had in my fridge
