Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp. unflavored vodka Footnote
  • 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice tips & tricks
  • 1 small pinch ground Himalayan pink salt
  • 12 large kiwi fruits, peeled plus more for garnish tips & tricks

Directions

  • To make simple syrup: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water; stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a simmer; cook for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, add vodka, lime juice and salt; let it cool completely.
  • In the jar of a blender, add kiwifruits and process until fairly well liquified. Pour in the simple syrup mixture and process for 30 seconds.
  • Pour the mixture into a large measuring cup, cover with cling film and transfer to the refrigerator to chill, about 3 hours.
  • Churn the cold kiwi mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 12 minutes.
  • Scoop the sorbet into an ice cream container and transfer to the freezer for 4 hours to firm up.
  • When ready to serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls and place a slice of kiwi on the side.

Notes

Footnote: If you're going to serve this to children as well, omit the vodka and add a total of 3 tbsp. of freshly squeezed lime juice.
