    Process mango, coconut milk and lime juice in a food processor until smooth, add sugar syrup to taste and process to combine. Pour into a shallow metal tray and freeze until beginning to firm (6-7 hours). Scrape into ice crystals with a fork and freeze, scraping every now and then, until frozen.
