Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pineapples

    Cut the top off each pineapple and hollow out the insides, being careful not to break the shell. Set aside the pineapple flesh.

  2. 2

    Make the Sorbetto

    In a saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the reserved pineapple flesh, lemon juice, pineapple juice, and the cooled sugar syrup. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Freeze the Mixture

    Pour the pineapple mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency (about 3-4 hours).

  5. 5

    Serve in Pineapple Shells

    Once the sorbetto is ready, scoop it into the hollowed-out pineapple shells. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
