Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely to make a simple syrup. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  2. Step 2: In a blender, combine 3 cups fresh pineapple chunks, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup cachaça, 1 teaspoon lime zest, and the cooled simple syrup. Blend on high until smooth and well combined.
  3. Step 3: Pour the mixture into a shallow metal pan and place in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the sorbet mixture vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals, repeating this process 4-5 times over 2-3 hours until the sorbet is firm and scoopable.
  4. Step 4: Serve the pineapple caipirinha sorbet in chilled bowls garnished with a small wedge of lime for a refreshing finish.
