Indulge in a refreshing Dragon Fruit and Chia Seed Sorbet with Basil and Lime. Perfectly vegan and gluten-free for a guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients
- • ripe dragon fruit: 2 large (about 500 grams)
- • chia seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • agave nectar: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh basil leaves: 10-12 leaves
- • cold water: 1/2 cup
- • pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- 1 Begin by scooping the flesh out of the dragon fruits and place it into a blender. Add the cold water, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 2 Finely chop the basil leaves and stir them into the dragon fruit mixture along with the chia seeds and a pinch of sea salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the chia seeds.
- 3 Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover and place in the freezer for 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and distribute the chia seeds evenly.
- 4 Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and garnish with additional basil leaves and a lime wedge, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • This dragon fruit sorbet pairs beautifully with a handful of fresh berries or a light drizzle of coconut cream for an added touch of indulgence. Serve it as a palate cleanser between courses or as a light dessert following a meal of grilled vegetables and lean proteins. For a refreshing drink pairing, consider a chilled herbal tea or a sparkling water infused with citrus and mint. The vibrant colors and flavors of this sorbet make it an eye-catching addition to any dessert table, perfect for summer gatherings or health-focused dinner parties.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. For the best texture, allow the sorbet to soften slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes before scooping. Avoid refreezing once it has thawed to maintain the creamy consistency.
