Mmmmmmm sorbet! When I was a little kid I used to love rainbow sorbet. You know that kind of sorbet that’s packed with refined sugar, artificial coloring and a whole heap of other nonsense? Thankfully, times have changed and I’ve moved on to better, healthier things like this Kiwano, Banana, & Pineapple Sorbet. Made from real, whole fruits, no processed sugar, and served in a gorgeous kiwano melon (aka New Zealand horned melon), this sweet treat is also sweet for your health.
Note, this recipe calls for kiwano juice, which is a little tricky to extract, because kiwanos, although juicy in the center, are filled with seeds making it difficult to separate the juice from the seeds. You can easily replace the kiwano juice with nondairy milk or cold, filtered water instead. And, if you want to eliminate all added sugars, take out the agave nectar. I did. The fruits bring plenty of sweet to this treat!
