Mango and blood orange sorbet

En Español

This mango sorbet was inspired by a combination of two memories from Ecuador. The first one is of the fruit smoothies my mom made, she would mix different fruits together so that the result would be a whole new delicious flavor. My second inspiration are the refreshing Ecuadorian “helados de paila”, which are essentially fruity sorbets made from a huge variety of fruits: mango, strawberry, naranjilla, coconut, moras or blackberries, orange, taxo, guanabana, etc.

Mango orange sorbet

The traditional helados de paila are made entirely by hand using a large copper bowl called a “paila” over ice. They are so good and refreshing! My mango blood orange sorbet isn’t exactly made according to the traditional method (obviously no paila was used). The traditional style helados de paila also use beaten egg whites. I made this mango sorbet using blood oranges because they add a colorful and tasty kick, but regular oranges can also be used.

    The flavor of the fruits seem to burst in the mouth as one takes each bite of a scoop of the helado de paila. My personal favorites are: Naranjilla, guanabana and taxo. When I last went with my wife we had an scoop everyday after dinner. That is a quality aperititif.

    By the way great blog.
