Dazzling Dessert Delight: Pineapple Basil Sorbet

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and refreshing dessert recipe that perfectly combines the sweetness of pineapple with the aromatic essence of fresh basil. This Pineapple Basil Sorbet is a delightful treat that’s perfect for warm summer days or as a palate cleanser between courses.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium ripe pineapple (about 800g)
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Kitchen Tools:

  • blender
  • saucepan
  • fine mesh strainer
  • ice cream maker

To begin, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Meanwhile, place the chopped pineapple and fresh basil leaves in a blender. Blend on high until smooth and well combined. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any fibrous pieces.

Once the sugar syrup has cooled, add it to the pineapple-basil mixture in the blender. Blend again until everything is fully incorporated.

Transfer the sorbet base to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Once the sorbet is ready, transfer it to a container and freeze for at least 3-4 hours to firm up before serving.

When ready to enjoy, scoop the Pineapple Basil Sorbet into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of elegance.

This Pineapple Basil Sorbet recipe makes about 6 servings, with each serving weighing approximately 150g. One serving has an estimated calorie count of 120 calories.

Pro Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a splash of white rum or a drizzle of honey to the sorbet mixture before churning.

I hope you give this Pineapple Basil Sorbet a try and get creative with your own variations. It’s a simple yet sophisticated dessert that’s sure to impress your guests and leave them feeling refreshed and satisfied. Enjoy!
