Indulge in a refreshing, nutrient-rich tropical fruit sorbet with chia seeds, basil, and lime for a healthy dessert delight.
Ingredients
- • ripe mango: 2 cups, chopped
- • ripe pineapple: 2 cups, chopped
- • fresh lime juice: 1/4 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh basil leaves: 10-12
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons (optional, adjust based on fruit sweetness)
- • water: 1/4 cup
Instructions
- 1 Begin by preparing the fruit. Peel and chop the mangoes and pineapple into small chunks. Place them in a blender or food processor.
- 2 Add the fresh lime juice, water, and maple syrup (if using) to the blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- 3 Stir in the chia seeds and chopped basil leaves into the fruit puree. Mix well to ensure the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- 4 Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Spread it evenly, cover, and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- 5 Once the sorbet is frozen, use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture into a light, fluffy texture before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • This refreshing sorbet pairs beautifully with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added crunch. Serve it with fresh fruit slices like kiwi or strawberries to enhance its tropical appeal. For a beverage pairing, enjoy with a chilled herbal tea or a glass of sparkling water with a spritz of lime for a refreshing finish.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. For the best texture, consume within one week. Before serving again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
