Ingredients

Start to finish: 5 minutes
Servings: 2 to 4 (makes 3 1/2 cups)

1/4 cup cold whole or lowfat milk
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne pepper, or to taste
Pinch salt
1 pint vanilla bean or original vanilla ice cream, softened until just melty at the edges
1 pint mango sorbet, softened until just melty at the edges


Directions

In a blender, combine all ingredients. Pulse several times to begin breaking up the ice cream and sorbet. With the blender off, use a silicone spatula to mash the mixture onto the blades.

Continue pulsing and stopping to mash until the mixture is thick, smooth and moves easily in the blender, about 1 minute.
