Let’s be honest. Sometimes you want dessert, but you don’t want to cook. You want something sweet, icy, and low effort—a recipe that’s basically a chill personality test.
Enter: Sorbet Delite – a tropical miracle made from just two ingredients (plus a little patience and maybe a spoon you don’t want to share with anyone else).
🛒 Ingredients
- Pineapple – canned or fresh (no judgment here)
- Citroen juice – yes, fancy lemon juice, or just regular lemon if you’re not feeling extra
🔧 Tools You’ll Need
- A blender
- An ice cream machine or whatever frozen treat mixer thing you’ve got
- A freezer
- A spoon (because… taste tests)
- Your brain (it helps)
🌀 The Sorbet Steps (a.k.a. The Path to Frozen Bliss)
Step 1: Cool the Pineapple
Grab your pineapple and toss it in the freezer for a night or two. If it’s canned, you can just throw the whole can in there like a rebel. If it’s fresh, cube it up and freeze it in a container. Either way, chill that fruit like it’s on summer vacation.
Step 2: Peel or Pop
If you’re going canned, just open it and pour the pineapple and juice straight into your blender. If you’re going fresh—peel, chop, and toss it in. Pineapple juice optional but very welcome.
Step 3: Add the Zing
Add a squirt (or two) of citroen juice. This adds a nice citrus kick that balances the sweetness. No need to be precise—squeeze with your heart.
Step 4: Blend and Taste
Blend for about 20 seconds. Then grab your spoon, dip it in, and taste the magic. If it’s not sweet enough for your taste buds, you can add sugar. But honestly? It’s pretty delightful as-is.
Step 5: Ice It Up
Pour your blended mixture into your ice cream machine or sorbet mixer and let it churn into a dreamy, icy texture. If you don’t have one, a strong stirring hand and some patience will do.
Step 6: Freeze Like a Pro
Once it’s got that creamy, smooth sorbet vibe, scoop it into a container and freeze it for 5–6 hours, or overnight if you have the willpower. (I never do.)
Step 7: Distract Yourself
Clean the kitchen. Scroll your phone. Don’t open the freezer every 10 minutes. (Okay, maybe once.)
Step 8: Scoop, Serve, Slay
Once it’s frozen to perfection, scoop it into bowls and plate it like you’re on The Great British Freezing-Off. Bonus points for adding mint leaves or a tiny umbrella.
Step 9: Enjoy & Brag
You did it. You made sorbet with just TWO ingredients. Pat yourself on the back, send a humble-brag group chat message, and enjoy every bite.
💡 Pro Tip:
Want to make this even fancier? Try mixing in a little fresh ginger, mint, or coconut milk next time. But honestly, this two-ingredient classic holds up strong on its own.
