Mango Yoghurt Sorbet

Vanessa put on the chef's apron while I was at work and churned out (literally!) this FANTASTIC frozen treat. It is another quick, delicious and healthy recipes from the new Gordon Ramsay cookbook, Healthy Appetites. You could probably substitute creme fraiche for the fromage frias here if you wanted to. The fruity wonderfulness counteracts perfectly with the fromage frais. This is seriously worth a try.
350 milliliters water
225 g sugar
3 tablespoons liquid glucose
300 milliliters yoghurt, natural, such as greek-style
100 milliliters fromage frais
1 mango, 1/2 pureed, 1/2 chopped
Pour the water into a heavy pan, add the sugar and liquid glucose and place over low heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved, then increase the heat and boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

Beat the yoghurt and fromage frais together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Mix in the cooled syrup.

Pour the mixture into an ice-cream machine and churn until almost firm, adding the mango chunks halfway through. Scoop the sorbet into a suitable container and fold in the mango puree. Freeze for several hours until firm.

If you do not have an ice cream machine, freeze the mixture in a shallow container and beat with a fork several times during freezing.
