Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe cantaloupe
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Cut the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Remove the rind from the cantaloupe and cut the flesh into small chunks.
Place the cantaloupe chunks in a blender and blend until smooth. This should yield about 3 cups of cantaloupe puree.
Add the granulated sugar, plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the blender with the cantaloupe puree. Blend again until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar to your preference.
Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe dish and cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, remove the dish from the freezer and stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for the next 2-3 hours to ensure a creamy texture.
Once the sherbet is fully frozen and creamy, scoop it into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.
