Mango Lassi Ice

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.

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups/425 grams diced mango (2 large mangos)
• 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons/55 grams fresh lime juice (about 1 1/2 limes)

• 1 ¾ cups buttermilk
