Ingredients:
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 16 strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 4 bananas
- 1 cup raspberry ginger ale (or regular ginger ale/Sprite)
- Sorbet of your choice (enough to top each serving)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Fruit Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, halved strawberries, sliced kiwi, and blueberries. Gently toss the fruit together to ensure even distribution. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. This step helps the flavors meld and the fruit to become refreshingly cold.
-
Prepare the Bananas: Just before you’re ready to serve the dessert, slice the bananas to avoid them turning brown. Set them aside until you’re ready to assemble the bowls.
-
Assemble the Dessert: Remove the chilled fruit mixture from the refrigerator. Spoon the fruit evenly into individual dessert bowls. Top each bowl with freshly sliced bananas.
-
Add Ginger Ale: Pour a splash of raspberry ginger ale over the fruit in each bowl. Give the mixture a gentle stir to slightly mix in the ginger ale, enhancing the fruit’s natural sweetness with a fizzy twist.
-
Top with Sorbet: Finally, scoop a generous amount of your favorite sorbet on top of each fruit bowl. The sorbet will add a creamy texture and a burst of flavor, perfectly complementing the refreshing fruit mix.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best experience, allowing everyone to enjoy the delightful combination of fresh fruit, fizzy ginger ale, and smooth sorbet. Perfect for a summer day or any time you crave a light, refreshing dessert.
