Delicious Kiwi Sorbet (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
6 ripe kiwis, peeled and quartered
02 -
¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust according to taste)
03 -
1 cup water
04 -
Juice of 1 lemon
# Instructions:
01 -
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature.
02 -
In a blender, puree the kiwis until smooth.
03 -
For a smoother texture, strain the kiwi puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
04 -
Mix the strained kiwi puree, cooled sugar syrup, and lemon juice. Refrigerate the mixture until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.
05 -
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For a no-churn option, transfer the mixture to a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes, until it reaches the desired consistency.
06 -
Enjoy the sorbet immediately for a softer texture, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
# Notes:
01 -
Garnish Creatively: Serve the sorbet with a garnish of fresh kiwi slices or a sprinkle of lime zest to enhance its tropical flair. Edible flowers can also add a beautiful touch for special occasions.
02 -
Add a Crunch: Offer some texture contrast by pairing the sorbet with a side of shortbread cookies or crushed pistachios sprinkled on top.

Layered Sorbet Parfait: For a visually appealing dessert, layer kiwi sorbet with coconut sorbet or mango sorbet in clear glasses. Freeze each layer briefly before adding the next to keep them distinct.

Kiwi Sorbet Pops: Pour the sorbet mixture into ice pop molds before freezing for a fun and portable version of this dessert. Insert sticks for easy handling.
