Why we love this recipe
This chilled treat has both tropical appeal and a cooling effect which is perfect for those hot summer days. And can we talk about the health benefits? Kiwis are high in vitamin C and have a variety of antioxidants. This Kiwi Sorbet is a totally guilt-free dessert!
This recipe is also naturally vegan and gluten -free.
Ingredients
- kiwi fruit – when choosing kiwi fruit you are looking for a firm but not a hard piece of fruit. Look for any soft or darker brown spots on the skin and avoid those kiwis.
- fresh limes – lemon juice can be easily substituted
Equipment
food processor – based on my observations, it’s possible to use a blender if it is a high-powered version like a Blendtec or Vitamix.
Instructions
Step 1
Start by peeling and slicing the kiwi fruit. Make sure they are all uniform in thickness.
Step 2
Next, place the slices on the parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them into the freezer.
Let them freeze until solid. It takes approximately an hour to freeze.
Step 3
Once they are frozen is time to make magic. Place the frosty discs into the food processor.
Step 4
Next, process the frozen kiwi slices with fresh lime juice.
Blend until the consistency is like soft serve/sorbet. It doesn’t take long!
Serve immediately or transfer the sorbet into an airtight glass container with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the freezer.
Expert tip
Be sure to use ripe kiwis for this recipe! I’ve determined through extensive testing that they will have the best flavor and the most vibrant color.

Storing and Freezing

It will be too hard to scoop when you take it out so let it soften on the counter for 5-10 minutes before eating.
