Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 ripe kiwis, peeled and quartered
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare Sugar Syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, then remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Blend Kiwis: Place the peeled and quartered kiwis into a blender and puree until smooth.
- Strain Mixture: Pour the kiwi puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds for a smoother sorbet texture.
- Combine and Chill: Mix the strained kiwi puree, cooled sugar syrup, and the juice of 1 lemon thoroughly. Refrigerate the mixture for about 2 hours until it is completely chilled.
- Freeze: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually about 20-30 minutes, until it reaches sorbet consistency. Alternatively, for a no-churn method, transfer the mixture to a shallow container and freeze, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals, until firm, about 3 hours.
- Serve: Serve the sorbet immediately for a softer texture or transfer it to an airtight container and freeze until firm if you prefer a more solid consistency.
Notes
- Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the kiwis.
- For a vegan and dairy-free option, this sorbet recipe is naturally suitable.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, stirring every 30 minutes while freezing helps achieve a smooth texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor; bottled lemon juice can alter taste.
- For extra zing, add a teaspoon of lime juice or zest along with lemon juice.
