Fruit Sorbet in Hollowed-Out Fruit Shells
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 cups of mixed fruit (such as strawberries, mangoes, and kiwi)
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
- 6 hollowed-out fruit shells (such as half a watermelon, cantaloupe, or pineapple)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- In a blender, puree 4 cups of mixed fruit until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any seeds or pulp.
- Stir the cooled sugar syrup and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice into the fruit puree until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a sorbet consistency, about 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
- Scoop the fruit sorbet into the hollowed-out fruit shells just before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or fruit slices if desired. Enjoy!
