Mango Sorbet

Use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to peel the mangoes. Cut the flesh away from the pit and roughly chop. Transfer the chopped mango to the jug of a blender and add 3 tablespoons of cold water. Blend on high speed until smooth. Set a fine mesh strainer over a large glass measuring cup and strain the mango purée, pressing against the solids with a small ladle to force as much through as possible. Measure 3 cups of purée and reserve the rest for another use.

Whisk in the sugar, lime juice, Angostura bitters (if using) and salt, then cover and chill at least 2 hours or overnight.

When the base is very cold, transfer it to an ice cream machine and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer the soft sorbet to a metal loaf pan, cover, and freeze at least 4 hours or overnight. Divide between 6 champagne coupes and top with Champagne.
