🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, let’s get that cantaloupe prepped! Grab your cutting board and knife. Carefully slice the cantaloupe in half and scoop out those seeds. No one wants those in their sorbet!
- Next, peel the cantaloupe. Now, dice the melon into chunks – roughly one-inch pieces are perfect. This helps your blender out later. Think of it as a kindness.
- Now, onto the mint! Wash a handful of fresh mint leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. This will prevent the mint from browning. Pick off the leaves, discarding the stems – we only want the minty goodness.
- Place the cantaloupe chunks, mint leaves, yogurt, honey, and lime juice into your blender. Secure the lid tightly. Blend everything until it's super smooth and creamy. No chunks allowed! If it seems too thick, add a splash of water.
- Give it a taste! Is it sweet enough? Add a bit more honey if needed. Does it need a zing? A touch more lime juice will do the trick! Adjust to your liking; it’s YOUR sorbet now.
- Pour the mixture into your freezer-safe container. A loaf pan or a plastic container works just fine. Make sure it’s sealed well to prevent freezer burn.
- Pop it into the freezer for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows it to fully freeze. Patience is key, my friend!
- Every hour, take the container out of the freezer and give it a good stir with a fork. This breaks up any ice crystals and gives you a smoother, more scoopable sorbet. Don’t skip this step!
- Once it’s frozen solid, take it out of the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. This makes it easier to scoop.
- Grab your ice cream scoop and scoop out a generous serving (or two!) into a bowl or cone. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for that extra touch of fancy.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful Cantaloupe Mint Frozen Yogurt Sorbet! It's a burst of summer in every bite. Seriously, could there be any easier way to cool down on a hot day?
📝 Notes
- For a sweeter sorbet, add more honey to taste.
- If you don't have lime juice, lemon juice works as a substitute.
- Adjust mint leaves according to how strong you want the mint flavor to be.
