Dragon Fruit Sorbet

Description

This easy dragon fruit sorbet is a fun way to turn frozen fruit into a refreshing homemade dessert. Made with frozen dragon fruit, mango, fresh lime juice, and a little honey, this fruit sorbet is bright, creamy, and full of tropical flavor. I love that the beautiful pink-purple color comes naturally from the dragon fruit, and the whole recipe comes together in just minutes in a food processor. It’s a simple, delicious way to make fruit the star of dessert.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12oz Frozen Dragon Fruit
  • 10oz Frozen Mango
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
  • 3 Tbsp Honey
  • 3 Tbsp Water

Instructions

  1. Place the frozen dragon fruit, frozen mango, lime juice, honey, and 2 tablespoons of warm water in the bowl of a food processor.
  2. Process for 1–2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. The mixture will be thick and may look a little crumbly at first.
  3. Add water as needed. Add the remaining warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue processing until the fruit breaks down and the sorbet becomes smooth and creamy. You may not need all of the water
  4. Be patient! If your food processor is struggling or the fruit isn’t blending smoothly, let the mixture sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes, then process again. Scraping down the sides between rounds helps, too. A little patience is the secret to getting that smooth, scoopable sorbet texture.
  5. Once smooth and cohesive, transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

  • Be patient with blending! It may take a few minutes to fully come together but the wait is worth it!
