Fine mesh strainer (optional)
Shallow dish or ice cream maker

Spoon or fork (for stirring during freezing)
- 8-10 ripe kiwis or frozen, thawed
- 1/2 cup sugar adjust to taste
- 2 tbsp lemon juice fresh preferred
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp honey optional

Peel kiwis and cut into chunks.
Add kiwi chunks, sugar, lemon juice, water, honey (if using), and salt to blender. Blend until smooth (30–45 seconds).
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Optional: Strain mixture through fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
If using an ice cream maker, churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes).
If no ice cream maker, pour mixture into shallow dish and freeze. Stir with fork every 30 mins for first 2–3 hours to break ice crystals.
Transfer to airtight container and freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.
Let sit at room temp for 5–10 mins before scooping and serving.
Use ripe kiwis for best flavor and sweetness.
For a vegan version, skip honey and add extra sugar if needed.
Straining is optional but helps improve texture.
To enhance texture, chill ingredients before blending.
