Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Strawberries
- 200 grams Pineapple
- 200 grams Mango
- 200 grams Kiwi
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 200 milliliters Water
- 10 leaves Fresh Mint Leaves
Instructions
Start by washing all the fruits thoroughly under running water.
Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves.
Peel and core the pineapple and cut it into small chunks.
Peel the mango and cut the flesh into cubes, discarding the pit.
Peel the kiwi and slice it into rounds or chunks.
Combine all the prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl.
Juice the lime and add the lime juice to the fruits.
Add the honey to the bowl and mix everything gently to coat the fruits evenly.
In a blender, add the mixed fruits along with the lime juice and honey. Blend until smooth, stopping and scraping down the sides as necessary.
If the mixture is too thick, add water gradually to reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
Taste and add a bit more honey if the mixture isn't sweet enough, keeping in mind it should retain some tartness.
Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and stir them into the blended fruit mixture.
Pour the blended fruit mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and smooth the top.
Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
After about 1 hour, stir the mixture thoroughly with a fork to break up ice crystals.
Repeat this process every hour for 3-4 hours until the mixture is fully frozen and has a granita-like consistency.
Before serving, let the fruit ice sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make scooping easier.
Serve in chilled bowls or dessert cups for a refreshing treat.
