Pitaya & Lemon Sorbet

Pitaya, or dragon fruit, is a superfood that is high in vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants. It's an exotic fruit that has hot pink skin and a sweet center. As I was recipe testing, I found that lemon zest complimented the fruit best, and it created a cheery sorbet with a bit of a crunch from the seeds. Just make sure you check your teeth when you're done! Cheers!
