One Ingredient Tangerine Sorbet

(8)
"My one-ingredient tangerine sorbet is my most popular reel, with over 11 MILLION views! It's a bit ironic since it's hardly a recipe, and it truly has one-ingredient—seedless tangerines. But it is delicious, easy, and a perfect swap for ice cream if you like the idea of eating fruit instead of sugar. Don't come at me. I eat ice cream, too!"

ingredients

  • 6 seedless tangerines

Method

  • Step 1

    Peel the tangerines and separate them into individual segments.

  • Step 2

    Place the tangerine segments on a plate or sheet pan and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.

  • Step 3

    Transfer the frozen tangerine segments to a food processor.

  • Step 4

    Process the tangerines until they are dry and crumbly. Pause for a minute and process again until smooth. You may need to pack it down a bit with a spatula.

  • Step 5

    Serve immediately for best texture. If you need to store it, place it in the freezer. If it freezes overnight or longer, it will become very hard, so let it sit on the counter until it is scoopable.
