Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces kiwis
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Peel the kiwis and cut them into chunks.
Place the kiwi chunks into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the kiwi puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the kiwi puree, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and heavy cream. Stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for about 2 hours, then remove and stir thoroughly with a fork to break up any ice crystals. Repeat this process every hour until the sherbet is fully frozen and smooth.
Once churned or fully frozen, transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up.
Serve scooped into bowls or cones, and enjoy your homemade Kiwi Sherbet!
