Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Fruit preparation: Cut the melon into cubes. Wash the apricots well, remove the pit, and chop them.
-
Freezing (texture trick): For best results, place the fruit pieces on a tray and freeze them for at least 3-4 hours before blending.
-
Technical mixing: In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the frozen fruit, lemon juice, and the Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 de Castelló.
-
Emulsion: Blend at maximum speed. If the machine struggles, add the 50ml of water little by little until you get a smooth, creamy, homogeneous ice-cream-like texture.
-
Storage: * If served immediately: Serve directly in chilled glasses.
-
If prepared in advance: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and keep it in the freezer. Take it out 10 minutes before serving to restore the ideal texture.
-
-
Final touch: Garnish with a fresh basil leaf for a sophisticated aromatic contrast or mint for extra freshness.
Nutritionist Tips
Apricot is one of the best natural sources of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), essential for protecting the skin from the sun. By combining it with melon, we create a powerful hydration cocktail. The use of Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 de Castelló allows this recipe to keep its naturally sweet flavor without the negative effects of refined sugar, protecting your cardiovascular health. In addition, since it contains no dairy, it is a digestive dessert suitable for those who are lactose intolerant.
It’s the perfect recipe to enjoy an artisanal, healthy dessert with your friends or family!
