Low calorie desserts for the diet

KIWI CHERBET

We do not recommend preparing this delicacy if there are children in the house: it contains alcohol, albeit in negligible quantities. For light homemade ice cream, use 8 ripe kiwis. Peel them and put them in a blender glass, pour in 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice and white rum. Add 50 ml cane sugar syrup (you can do without brown sugar). Whisk until a liquid puree is obtained. Freeze in the freezer.
