Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine mango and water in food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Strain through fine-mesh sieve and discard pulp.

2. Add sugar and lemon juice and stir briskly until sugar is dissolved. Pour into 2 ice cube trays.

3. Freeze mixture until firm, at least 2 hours. (Can transfer frozen cubes to zipper-lock plastic bags and freeze up to 1 week.)

4. Just before serving, place a single layer of frozen cubes in workbowl of food processor fitted with steel blade. Pulse 10 or 12 times or until no large chunks of ice remain. Scoop crystals into individual bowls. Repeat with remaining ice cubes and serve immediately.
