Starfruit Sorbet
Starfruit sorbet is a invigorating and exotic frozen dessert that captures the sunny flavors of summer. Perfect for those who crave a light, fruity treat, this sorbet is vegan-friendly and simple to prepare, making it ideal for hot days with friends or family gatherings.
The preparation time is minimal — just about 15 minutes of active work, plus a few hours to freeze the mixture until it reaches the perfect sorbet consistency.
Ingredients:
- 4 ripe starfruit (carambola)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Pinch of salt
Cooking Steps:
- Prepare the Starfruit: Wash the starfruit thoroughly and slice off the ends. Cut the fruit into star-shaped pieces, removing any seeds.
- Make the Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, then remove from heat and let it cool.
- Blend the Mixture: In a blender, combine the sliced starfruit, cooled syrup, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the Mixture (optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any fibrous bits.
- Freeze the Sorbet: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or ice cream maker. If using a shallow dish, freeze for about 2 hours, then stir every 30 minutes until the sorbet is firm. If using an ice cream maker, churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Serve: Once fully frozen, scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy!
Variations & Tips:
- Mix it Up: Experiment by adding other fruits like pineapple or mango to the mixture for tropical varieties.
- Add Herbs: Basil or mint can add an interesting flavor twist to your sorbet.

The preparation time is about 30 minutes, and although it requires some chilling time, the actual hands-on cooking is relatively quick, making it a fantastic choice for both experienced bakers and beginners looking to impress.
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made tart shell (9-inch)
- 2 medium starfruits, sliced

- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly into the cooled tart shell.
- Carefully arrange the starfruit slices on top of the filling, overlapping slightly for a decorative look.

- Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Variations and Tips:
- Consider adding a layer of fruit jelly or glaze over the starfruit slices for added shine and sweetness.
- You can experiment with different flavorings, such as almond or coconut extract, in place of vanilla to change the profile.
