| 3 cups | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Water |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Simple Syrup:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. This creates a simple syrup base for your sorbet.
-
Puree Kiwifruits:
- While the syrup is simmering, peel the kiwifruits and cut them into chunks. In a blender or food processor, puree the peeled kiwifruits until smooth.
-
Mix Kiwi Puree with Syrup:
- Once the syrup is ready, add the kiwi puree to the saucepan. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the kiwi is evenly distributed throughout the syrup.
-
Add Lemon Zest:
- Zest half a lemon directly into the kiwi syrup mixture. The lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor that complements the sweetness of the fruits.
-
Freeze Until Slushy:
- Pour the kiwi syrup mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan. Place it in the freezer and let it freeze for a few hours, or until it becomes slushy in texture.
-
Incorporate Passion Fruit:
- Once the mixture is partially frozen, remove it from the freezer. Scoop out the flesh of the passion fruits and add it to the slushy kiwi mixture.
-
Whisk Until Smooth:
- Using a whisk or fork, vigorously mix the passion fruit into the kiwi mixture until everything is well combined and smooth.
-
Freeze Until Firm:
- Return the sorbet mixture to the freezer and let it firm up completely, usually for at least a few hours or overnight.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Before serving, allow the sorbet to soften slightly by transferring it from the freezer to the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones, and indulge in the tropical flavors of this delightful dessert!
