Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 pieces ripe kiwis, peeled and quartered
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Adjust according to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Juice of 1 lemon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature.
  2. In a blender, puree the kiwis until smooth.
  3. For a smoother texture, strain the kiwi puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
  4. Mix the strained kiwi puree, cooled sugar syrup, and lemon juice. Refrigerate the mixture until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.
Freezing
  1. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. For a no-churn option, transfer the mixture to a shallow container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Serving
  1. Enjoy the sorbet immediately for a softer texture, or transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
  2. Serve the sorbet with a garnish of fresh kiwi slices or a sprinkle of lime zest. Add a side of shortbread cookies or crushed pistachios for contrast.

Notes

Taste as you go: Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your kiwis. Chill the mixture thoroughly for better churning results. Straining the puree removes seeds for a smoother finish.
