2-Ingredient Fruit Sorbet (No Ice Cream Maker!)

There’s a small container at the back of my freezer that holds a little bit of summer magic. It’s not a complicated secret, but the kind that makes you feel like a kitchen wizard. You know those days when the afternoon slump hits, or you’re craving something sweet after dinner, but you want to feel good about it?

Then, I discovered this trick. This 2-Ingredient Fruit Sorbet is my go-to lifesaver for a quick, healthy, and utterly delicious treat. It feels like a decadent dessert, but it’s so simple it barely qualifies as a recipe. The best part? No ice cream maker is needed—just a blender and a dream. It’s the perfect way to transform that bag of frozen fruit languishing in your freezer into a vibrant, creamy, and cooldown-worthy snack in minutes.

I created this sorbet on a sweltering afternoon when my sweet tooth and my desire for a healthy snack were at war. It was a moment of pure kitchen triumph! Now, it’s my secret weapon for a guilt-free treat that feels like a celebration.

Ingredients

• 4 cups – – Frozen Fruit (like mango, strawberries, or peaches)

• 1/4 cup – – Maple Syrup (or agave/honey)

Directions

• Add the frozen fruit and maple syrup to a high-powered blender or food processor.
• Blend on high, using the tamper if necessary, until the mixture is completely smooth and has a soft-serve consistency. This may take a minute or two.
• For a firmer sorbet, transfer the blended mixture to a loaf pan or airtight container and freeze for 1-2 hours.
• Scoop and serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or after freezing for a classic, scoopable sorbet.

Notes

• Fruit is Key: Using high-quality, ripe frozen fruit is the secret to the best flavor. Avoid fruit that is freezer-burnt or under-ripe.
• Blender Power: If your blender is struggling, let the fruit sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften before blending. A tamper tool is your best friend here!
• Get Creative: Stir in a handful of fresh berries, a sprinkle of citrus zest, or a few fresh mint leaves after blending for a fun twist.
• Sweetness to Taste: Taste the mixture after blending and add more sweetener if desired, depending on the natural sweetness of your fruit.
