Description
This recipe is for a kid-friendly unicorn fruit sorbet, perfect for busy parents looking for an easy, appealing, and healthy treat for their children.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Natural food coloring (optional, for vibrant colors)
Instructions
- Divide the frozen mango and pineapple into two separate portions.
- In a blender, combine one portion of mango and pineapple with half of the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, add a drop of yellow or orange natural food coloring for a vibrant color. Transfer this mixture to a bowl and place it in the freezer while you prepare the next layer.
- Clean the blender. Add the remaining mango and pineapple to the blender along with the frozen raspberries, the rest of the coconut milk, and honey/maple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. If desired, add a drop of pink or purple natural food coloring for a vibrant color.
- Retrieve the first sorbet mixture from the freezer. Layer the pink/purple sorbet on top of the yellow/orange sorbet in serving glasses or bowls.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or freeze for 30 minutes to an hour for a firmer sorbet.
- Garnish with fresh fruit or sprinkles if desired.
Notes
- For picky eaters like my Leo, I sometimes sneak in a small handful of spinach into the green layer; they never taste it!
- Mia loves helping with this recipe, especially choosing the fruit colors. It’s a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen.
- You can use any combination of frozen fruits you like. Blueberries, bananas, and peaches work well too.
- Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- If your blender struggles, add a tiny bit more liquid, but be careful not to make it too watery.
