We are back with Dragon Fruit Sorbet!

Bing Chillin is back with another successful recipe - Dragon Fruit Sorbet.

If you've been following us, we actually did a dragon fruit ice cream version before - reference here Dragon Fruit Ice Cream. But that time we felt the outcome was overly milky and perhaps dragon fruit flavor is better off as a sorbet (without milk or cream). Hence when we got some fresh dragon fruits from our Desaru fruit farm trip, we couldn't wait to experiment.

Sidetrack a little, here's the 7am fantastic view on our way to Desaru...

Here's what we got from the farm, amidst durians and mangoes...

 After washing the fruit, next steps:

*note that sugar syrup is a mixture of water and sugar

Again featuring our trusty Cuisinart ICE-100 ice cream maker, it's time to do some work again! 

The final product! Chillin boy and I both felt the sorbet version tastes much better than the ice cream version. It's less 'jelat' and tastes more refreshingly healthy. Considering the fruit wasn't that sweet by itself, we got the sweetness level quite balanced. The texture wasn't icy too, despite the absence of fats from milk/cream. In summary, this was a great experiment and dragon fruit sorbet is an absolutely fabulous dessert without any sinfulness!
