Method

Preparing the Fruit Shells

  1. 1

    Prepare the Citrus Fruits

    Cut the lemons and oranges in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of fruit on the inside. Reserve the juice for the sherbet.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Stone Fruits

    Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the peach flesh, leaving a shell. Reserve the flesh for the sherbet.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pineapple

    Cut the top off the pineapple and carefully hollow out the inside, leaving a sturdy shell. Reserve the pineapple flesh for the sherbet.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Mango

    Slice the mangoes in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving the shell intact. Reserve the flesh for the sherbet.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Coconut

    Carefully crack open the coconut and drain the water. Scoop out the flesh and set aside the shell for serving.

Making the Sherbet

  1. 6

    Make the Simple Syrup

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

  2. 7

    Combine Ingredients for Sherbet

    In a mixing bowl, combine the reserved juice from the fruits (1 cup total), lemon juice, and corn syrup. Mix well.

  3. 8

    Add Simple Syrup

    Pour the cooled simple syrup into the fruit juice mixture. Stir until well combined. If desired, add food coloring for a vibrant appearance.

  4. 9

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours until it is well chilled.

  5. 10

    Freeze the Sherbet

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Alternatively, you can pour it into a shallow container and freeze for 4-6 hours, stirring every hour until it reaches the desired texture.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 11

    Fill the Fruit Shells

    Once the sherbet has reached the desired consistency, scoop it into the prepared fruit shells. Fill each shell generously with sherbet.

  2. 12

    Garnish (Optional)

    You can garnish your filled fruit shells with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top for added flair.
