Rambutan sorbet homemade refreshing dessert

Rambutan Sorbet

Rambutan sorbet is an exotic and refreshing dessert that highlights the sweet, slightly floral flavor of rambutan. Rambutan originates from Southeast Asia and is related to lychee, but with a distinctive appearance due to its thicker, spiky skin. The first sorbets were consumed in ancient Rome, when snow flavored with honey and fruit juice was cooled. In the modern version, the natural sweetness of rambutan and the tangy freshness of lime create a perfect harmony, resulting in a light, icy dessert. Imagine a spoonful of rambutan sorbet melting in your mouth, refreshing and invigorating with every bite!

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Peel the rambutans, halve them, remove the seeds, and purée in a blender until completely smooth.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will take about 5 minutes.

    3

    Let the sugar syrup cool, then stir in the rambutan purée and lime juice.

    4

    Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer.

    5

    Every 30 minutes, scrape the sorbet with a fork to create a flaky, icy texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until completely frozen.

    6

    Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a few whole rambutans.
