Revel in a refreshing chia-infused dragonfruit sorbet with basil essence. A guilt-free, nutrient-rich dessert that's vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Ingredients
- • dragonfruit (red or white): 2 cups, diced
- • ripe mango: 1 cup, diced
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh basil leaves: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • coconut water: 1/2 cup
Instructions
- 1 In a blender, combine the diced dragonfruit, mango, maple syrup, lime juice, and coconut water. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- 2 Stir in the chia seeds and chopped basil leaves by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- 3 Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula for even freezing.
- 4 Cover the container and place it in the freezer for about 4 hours or until the sorbet is firm. Stir every hour to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
- 5 Once frozen, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve your Wholesome Chia-Infused Dragonfruit Sorbet in chilled bowls, garnished with a few fresh basil leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor. Pair it with a handful of mixed berries for an antioxidant-rich boost, or sprinkle a few toasted coconut flakes on top for added texture and tropical flair. For a delightful beverage pairing, enjoy this sorbet alongside a light herbal iced tea or a sparkling water infused with citrus slices. This sorbet is also a delightful palate cleanser between courses, making it an elegant addition to a multi-course meal. Its bright, refreshing flavors are sure to impress your guests and leave them feeling rejuvenated.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To maintain the best texture, allow the sorbet to soften slightly at room temperature before serving again. If the sorbet becomes too hard, let it sit for a few extra minutes to regain its creamy consistency.
