Sorbet
Kiwi sorbet: A refreshing delight
Making a kiwi sorbet is a super easy and delicious way to enjoy the refreshing flavor of this fruit. Just process peeled kiwifruits with a little sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Freeze the mixture until solid, then process again before serving. This creates a smooth texture that's perfect for a refreshing treat on a hot day.
Tarts

Vegans can't enjoy cheesecake? Please, we're way past that! These no-bake cheesecake bites are a game-changer. Cashews soaked overnight create a lusciously creamy base for the filling. Blend them with coconut oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, and pieces of kiwifruit for a refreshing burst of flavor. Spoon over a simple almond-date crust in muffin tins and freeze until set.
Chips
Dehydrated kiwi chips
Create dehydrated kiwi chips by thinly slicing ripe kiwis. Place them on dehydrator trays or a baking sheet if you're using an oven on low heat. Dehydrate until crispy, the timing will depend on how thin your slices are. Enjoy these chips as a snack or a topping for desserts (think ice cream or cakes!).
