Ingredients Needed
Kiwis: Kiwis are exceptional sources of vitamin C, boasting over 80% of the daily recommended intake in just a 3.5-ounce serving. Kiwis contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, which contribute to healthy digestion in multiple ways. Soluble fiber supports a healthy gut microbiome, while insoluble fiber promotes regularity.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Gather your kiwis.
Step 2: Remove skin from kiwis and cut into slices.
Step 3: Freeze kiwis on a baking sheet overnight or until hardened.
Step 4: Blend in a food processor until creamy.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
How to Peel Kiwi
Stand the kiwi upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off about 1/4 inch from the top and bottom of the kiwi. Guide your sharp knife between the flesh of the kiwi and the fuzzy brown skin. Try to keep the blade as close to the skin as possible to minimize fruit waste. Slowly rotate the kiwi as you continue to slide the knife downwards, following the kiwi’s curve. The skin should come off cleanly in strips.
Storage
Store this kiwi sorbet in the freezer for up to 3 months.
How to Serve
For a classic presentation, scoop the sorbet into bowls using an ice cream scooper. Top with a single fresh kiwi slice or a sprig of mint for a touch of green.
Top your sorbet with a variety of chopped fresh fruits like berries, mangoes, or pineapples for a burst of color, texture and extra vitamins.
For a touch of indulgence, drizzle your kiwi sorbet with melted dark or white chocolate for a sweet and refreshing contrast.
