Ingredients
Sorbet with Frozen Fruit
- 16 oz. Fruit chunks, frozen
- ¼-½ cup agave nectar honey, or simple syrup*
- 1 Tbsp. lime juice freshly squeezed, or lemon juice
- 1 tsp. lemon or lime, zest
- mint for serving, optional
Sorbet with Fruit Juices
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup water
- 1 ¼ cups juice lemon, lime, or orange
- 2 tsp. lemon zest
- mint for serving, optional
Instructions
To Make the Sorbet with Frozen Fruit:
- Add the frozen fruit, ¼ cup sweetener, juice and zest to a large food processor or blender. Blend for a minute or two, scraping down the sides every 20-30 seconds, or until completely smooth and there are no visible chunks of fruit remaining. Add additional sweetener 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition, until your desired level of sweetness is reached.
- Transfer to a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan and spread it out using a spatula until it’s in an even layer.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Let sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before serving with a sprig of mint, if desired. Enjoy!
To Make the Sorbet with Fruit Juices:
- Simple Syrup: Add the sugar and water to a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, whisking occasionally, or until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature before using. You should end up with roughly 1 ¼ cups of simple syrup.
- Pour the lemon juice into a 9x5-inch metal loaf pan along with the simple syrup and zest. Whisk until combined and freeze for 3-4 hours, or until mostly firm.
- Transfer the mixture to a high speed blender or food processor and blend for 5-10 seconds, or until smooth. Avoid over blending to avoid heating it up too much.
- Pour the mixture back into the loaf pan and freeze for another 4 hours or up to overnight. Let sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes before serving with a sprig of mint, if desired.
Notes
- For the sorbet with fruit juices: You can also use 1 ¼ cups agave nectar or honey instead of the simple syrup, if desired.
