Fruit Smoothie Sorbet Recipe

Need a delicious summer treat without added sugars and preservatives? Make this real fruit smoothie sorbet. It’s a simpler recipe than my strawberry coconut milk ice cream. I use coconut milk and fresh fruit to make a cool sorbet that tastes like a fruit smoothie.

What’s a Fruit Smoothie Sorbet?

Well, it’s really the same ingredients that I use to make a fruit smoothie, but frozen. It’s ideal for hot summer days and tastes like a special treat to my kids. I use whatever fruits are in season and add a banana for a smooth, soft texture (if you’re a banana hater like me, don’t worry; you can’t taste it).

I’ve tried several different fruit combinations for this sorbet and they’ve all been tasty. I’ve done strawberry mango, peach raspberry (strain it), and even added a little lime zest a couple of times.

To freeze it, the recipe gives instructions for blending at several points during the freezing process. You can also use an ice cream maker. We have this one and it works really well for this recipe or any homemade ice cream recipe.

Tip: Make sure that your mixture is well chilled before you put it in the ice cream maker. I even put mine in the freezer for a while to get it really cold.

It’s also fun to make it a science lesson and try the tin can method. This method might work best if you start with frozen fruit.
