Mango-Wheatgrass Sorbet

it's summer and the weather's getting hotter by the second. i have thought of a recipe that will surely help us cool ourselves while still on the healthy bandwagon. i can't believe i just mentioned healthy, because it's not really in my vocabulary, but yes, it's healthy because i'm including my latest addiction in the recipe - wheatgrass.

this recipe is completely mine. to be honest, when i cook, it's trial and error because i don't follow directions nor do i weigh or measure, so me giving out my personal recipes, a.k.a. kitchen experiments, you're gonna have to be the one doing those weighing or measurements and adjustments if you're gonna try my recipe.

this mango-wheatgrass sorbet is done manually, meaning there are no kitchen machines involved except for the freezer, and maybe a blender if you have one (i used the whisker when i made this because i didn't want to make noise. i sneaked in the kitchen in the middle of the night). it's gonna take time and effort and patience so be prepared.

ingredients:
  • 2 ripe mangoes
  • 1 packet of Easy-Phamax Wheatgrass (Pure or with Honey)
  • 1 bag of powdered clear gelatin
  • at least 1 cup of sugar to taste (it's up to you how sweet you want your sorbet to be)


directions:
  • cook the gelatin as directed. 
  • add the sugar until it melts. set the gelatin aside. 
  • puree the mangoes. 
  • combine the gelatin and the pureed mangoes in a container (preferably plastic container or an ice cream can) and let it cool. 
  • add the wheatgrass packet, make it 2 packets if you like, and add more sugar to your liking. 
  • the pureed mangoes shouldn't let the gelatin mold, or if it starts to mold, add a little water so it won't. 
  • freeze it for about an hour then take it out to give it a stir. freeze again for another hour and then stir and do it again until you think it is ready to be served.
