Lime & Mango Sherbet Topped With Fresh Berries
"Once you have made your own sherbet you will never buy from the store again. It is so easy and the flavor is incredible. You will receive such accolades for this dish. It makes the best smoothies. I can't wait for the summer to enjoy this treat again. Please note that the cooking time is freezing time."

OH HAPPY DAY! This is so delightful and Baby Kato isn't kidding when she says that the berries will bring this sherbet over the top. I used blueberries, black raspberries and strawberries. The lime zest and juice in this recipe adds to the great taste. It DEFINITELY is way better than store bought and I'm for sure making this again, and again. It's even great on its own as a smoothie before the freezing process. Thank you Baby Kato for sharing another success! -
DH has been on a sherbet kick lately so made this to go with our Mexican meal. I only had 1 lime so used the zest and juice plus one lemon. I chilled the puree mixture then put it into my ice cream maker and then froze again. Excellent and will make many times again. -
My mom used to make a pineapple sherbet like this, so making this recipe brought back some great memories! Loved the combo of flavors here & will definitely be keeping this recipe around! Although this time around I did top it off with a mix of thawed mixed berries, I'm anxious to make it again when I know fresh berries will be at their peak! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
