Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes (plus freezing time)
- Servings: 6
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pineapple
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup passion fruit juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- Pineapple chunks (for garnish)
- Cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by cutting the pineapple in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving the shells intact to use as bowls later. Chop the pineapple flesh into chunks.
- In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, passion fruit juice, honey, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze for 2-3 hours, and then blend it again until smooth.
- Once the sorbet is ready, scoop it into the pineapple halves. Garnish with extra pineapple chunks and a cherry on top for a festive touch.
Helpful Tips
For beginners, if you don’t have an ice cream maker, don’t worry! Simply pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish, freeze for 2-3 hours, and blend again until you get that smooth, creamy texture.
To add a twist, consider mixing in some finely chopped mint leaves for a refreshing burst of flavor.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. If the sorbet becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
