One recipe that always brings a dash of joy and a burst of flavor to the table is the simply divine, vibrantly colored Tamarillo Sorbet. Don’t be misled by its simplicity of preparation, this fruit sorbet is a delight you simply cannot afford to miss. Packed with a delectable tang and a hint of sweetness, every mouthful is a burst of sunshine that will instantly brighten up your day. And when coupled with the health benefits of its main ingredient – the tamarillo – it’s hard not to fall in love with this treat.
A Taste of the Exotic
In my mountainous homeland of Colorado, we treasure the wild, the rustic, and the traditional. But sometimes, our taste buds crave a touch of the exotic. This Tamarillo Sorbet answers to that call, delivering an interesting twist on typical fruit sorbets we’re accustomed to. Originating from South America, the tamarillo is an underestimated culinary treasure.
Admittedly, the tamarillo might not be the iconic fruit you would think to use in a sorbet, but when you experience its unique, versatile flavor profile, you will understand. Sweet, with a touch of tartness, its taste profile is often compared to a fusion of passion fruit and tomato. All these elements come together beautifully to produce a refreshing sorbet that could serve as a statement dessert at any event.
The Perfect Chill-Out Treat
Tamarillo Sorbet has a distinct charm and versatile flavor that is appealing on a hot summer afternoon or as a light dessert post a hearty meal. This treat is all about embracing the sweet and tart melody of flavors that dance together in perfect harmony and provide a much-needed refreshing note.
I also fancy this gorgeous sorbet alongside my partner Gordon’s famous blueberry pie. Trust me – the blend of warm, ripe blueberries in a flaky pie crust with this chilled, tangy sorbet makes for a delightful combination.
Nutrition and Health Benefits
Of course, I must mention the health benefits of this delightful recipe. Packed with vitamins (especially vitamin C and E), folate, and antioxidants, the tamarillo isn’t just delicious but also nutritious. Not to mention, it’s a great option for those minding their waistline, due to its low calorie and high fiber content.

All in all, I love Tamarillo Sorbet not just for its delightful taste, texture, and refreshing nature, but also because it brings a welcome hint of the exotic into our rustic, mountain-inspired culinary repertoire. It’s a special recipe that I look forward to sharing with you.
What You’ll Need
- 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cups of water
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 pound of ripe tamarillos
Method
Step One
Combine 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar with 1 and 1/2 cups of water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves. Once the sugar is dissolved, add the zest and juice of one lemon into the saucepan. Stir well and then remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
Step Two
While the sugar mixture is cooling, prepare the tamarillos. Start by making a small cut on the bottom of each tamarillo. Then, blanch the tamarillos in boiling water for about 30 seconds, and immediately transfer them into a bowl of ice water. This will make the skins easy to peel off. Peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and puree the flesh in a blender or food processor.
Step Three
Once the sugar mixture has cooled, combine it with the tamarillo puree in a large bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Step Four
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze it. Every hour, stir the mixture with a fork to break up any large ice crystals until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency.
Step Five
Once the mixture has achieved a sorbet consistency, transfer it into a lidded container and freeze it for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help the sorbet firm up and give it a smoother texture.
