Homemade Fruit Sorbet Cups

I make these all the time.

I know that they look slightly too fussy for like, a Tuesday night, but I promise: they’re so easy, and they’re so pretty-looking if you have guests over, and even if you don’t, kids love them.

Grownups love them.

Everyone loves them.

Here’s how you make them:

1. Choose your fruit (pictured here are tangelos, but regular old oranges, lemons, grapefruits and peaches all work well), and choose a complimentary (or contrasting) store-bought sorbet to go with it – lemons paired with strawberry sorbet are especially pretty, just FYI.

2. Cut your fruit into three parts, as shown above. Toss (or eat) that middle slice, and put the top slice off to one side; you’ll need it in a minute.

3. Use a serrated knife to carefully separate the fruit from the peel (this is easier with thick-skinned or slightly underripe fruits).

4. Scoop out the flesh (use a grapefruit spoon, if you have one handy).

5. Fill your little guy with sorbet…

6. And put on his hat. Aw.
