Strawberry Kiwi Sherbet
I decided to twist a strawberry sherbet recipe, using about a 3:1 ratio of strawberries to kiwi. That seemed to be common in various other strawberry kiwi recipes. What I found was that while the color resembled just strawberry, the kiwi flavor was still really strong. Next time, I might reduce it down even more. I liked the flavor, I'd just like the strawberry to be a tad more prominent. I've included the recipe the way I did it, but just note you might want to add in a little more strawberry.
Strawberry Kiwi Sherbet ingredients:
- 3 cups hulled strawberries
- 2 small kiwi (about 1 cup)
