Easy Fruit Sorbet Recipe

Fruit sorbet is a refreshing and simple dessert that can be made with just a few ingredients. Here’s how to make it using frozen fruit, with variations for different flavors.

Basic Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen fruit of your choice (e.g., strawberries, mangoes, raspberries, or peaches)
  • 4 tablespoons coconut milk or any milk of your choice (optional, for smoother texture)
  • Sweetener (optional): honey, maple syrup, or simple syrup to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice (optional, enhances flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit:
    • If using fresh fruit, chop it into small pieces and freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid (about 3-4 hours or overnight). For convenience, you can use store-bought frozen fruit.
  2. Blend the Ingredients:
    • In a blender or food processor, combine the frozen fruit and coconut milk (if using). Blend until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides to ensure everything is mixed well.
  3. Adjust Sweetness:
    • Taste the mixture and add sweetener as needed. Blend again to incorporate. If the mixture is too thick, add a little warm water or more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Add Citrus:
    • If using, add lemon or lime juice and blend briefly to mix.
  5. Serve or Freeze:
    • For a softer texture, serve immediately. For a firmer sorbet, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2-4 hours before serving.

Flavor Variations

  • Raspberry Sorbet: Use 3 cups of frozen raspberries and add 2 tablespoons of honey.
  • Mango Sorbet: Use 3 cups of frozen mango chunks and add 1 teaspoon of lime juice.
  • Peach Sorbet: Use 3 cups of frozen peach slices and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Watermelon Sorbet: Use 3 ½ cups of frozen watermelon cubes and add 1 teaspoon of lime juice.

Storage

  • Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping when ready to serve.

Enjoy this delightful and refreshing fruit sorbet as a healthy dessert option!
