A light, refreshing, and creamy kiwi sorbet made with simple ingredients, perfect for a guilt-free summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium kiwis (about 1 pound or 450 grams), peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
  • Optional: coconut sugar or honey as sugar substitute

Instructions

  1. Make the Simple Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Prepare the Kiwi: Peel and slice 6 medium kiwis. Cut into chunks for easier blending.
  3. Puree the Kiwi: Place kiwi chunks in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pulse a few times for a chunkier texture if preferred.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together kiwi puree, cooled simple syrup, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed.
  5. Freeze and Stir: Pour mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Freeze for about 45 minutes. Stir with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals. Repeat stirring every 30 minutes for about 3 hours until firm but scoopable.
  6. Optional Ice Cream Maker Method: Pour mixture into ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes. Transfer to container and freeze until firm.
  7. Before serving, let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften if too hard.

Notes

Use ripe kiwis for best flavor and texture. Stir sorbet every 30 minutes during freezing to prevent ice crystals and maintain creaminess. Cooling the simple syrup before mixing preserves fresh kiwi flavor. If sorbet becomes too hard, let it soften at room temperature before serving. Optional ginger adds warmth; coconut sugar or honey can substitute granulated sugar but may alter texture.
