Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 5 kiwis, peeled and diced
Sweetener
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
Herbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint
Instructions
- Prepare the kiwi: Peel the skin off the kiwi and cut into 1/2 inch chunks. Place the diced kiwi in a freezer-safe bag or container to prepare for freezing.
- Freeze the kiwi: Freeze the diced kiwi in the container for at least 3 hours to ensure it is solid enough for blending into sorbet.
- Blend ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the frozen kiwi, honey or maple syrup, and chopped mint. Blend for at least 2 minutes until the mixture reaches a smooth, sorbet-like consistency.
- Serve: Scoop the sorbet into bowls and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
- For a stronger mint flavor, add a few extra tablespoons of chopped mint.
- Freeze the kiwi longer than 3 hours if you want a firmer sorbet texture.
- If the sorbet is too thick to blend, add a tablespoon of water or fruit juice to assist blending.
- This sorbet is best consumed immediately but can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 days; let it soften for a few minutes before serving.
