Ingredients
Scale
Main Fruits:
- 3 kiwis
Acidic Liquid:
- 0.5 tablespoons (0.5 tbsp) lime juice
Instructions
- Meticulously peel ripe kiwis, transforming them into uniform, delicate medallions approximately one inch in diameter.
- Arrange the kiwi discs carefully on a parchment-lined baking tray, ensuring minimal contact between slices to prevent freezing together.
- Place the tray in the freezer, allowing the vibrant green fruit to solidify completely – this transformation typically requires roughly 60 minutes.
- Extract the crystallized kiwi rounds and transfer them into a powerful food processor or high-performance blender.
- Introduce fresh lime juice to the frozen fruit, creating a tangy flavor foundation.
- Activate the blender, pulsing the mixture with strategic pauses to encourage smooth integration and prevent uneven textures.
- Periodically pause the blending process to scrape down the container’s sides, guaranteeing a uniform, silky consistency.
- Continue processing until the mixture reaches a light, airy sorbet texture with no discernible fruit chunks.
- Immediately transfer the sorbet to serving dishes, presenting the vibrant, refreshing dessert at its peak of chilled perfection.
- For optimal enjoyment, consume the sorbet promptly after preparation to savor its delicate, frost-like consistency.
Notes
- Grab extra-ripe kiwis bursting with sweet, tangy flavor for maximum deliciousness.
- Freezing kiwi slices beforehand intensifies their natural sugars and creates a smoother sorbet texture.
- Lime juice brightens the kiwi’s taste and prevents browning while adding a zesty kick to the final dessert.
