Ingredients

To make this delicious cantaloupe sorbet, you will need the following ingredients:

1 ripe cantaloupe (about 3 to 4 cups of pureed fruit)
1 cup of coconut milk or almond milk
1/2 cup of maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
A pinch of salt

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own cantaloupe sorbet:

Begin by cutting the cantaloupe in half and removing the seeds. Scoop the flesh out with a spoon and add it to a blender or food processor.
Puree the cantaloupe until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. You should have approximately 3 to 4 cups of pureed fruit.
Next, add the coconut (or almond) milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend again until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup. The sweetness will mellow out once frozen.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-30 minutes. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet-like texture.
Once the mixture has thickened and reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it into an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up further.
When ready to serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones. Garnish with mint leaves or fresh cantaloupe slices if desired.

This easy homemade cantaloupe sorbet is sure to be a favorite among all who try it. Enjoy this refreshing dessert on a hot day!
