Indulge in a refreshing, nutrient-packed jackfruit sorbet with chia and hazelnut crunch. Perfect for a healthy dessert treat!
Ingredients
- • ripe jackfruit pods: 2 cups
- • unsweetened coconut milk: 1 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 3 tablespoons
- • fresh lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • roasted hazelnuts: 1/2 cup
- • sea salt: a pinch
- • fresh mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by preparing the jackfruit sorbet mixture. In a blender, combine the ripe jackfruit pods, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring the chia seeds are well incorporated for added texture.
- 2 Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Spread it evenly and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Place the container in the freezer and allow it to set for at least 4 hours, or until the sorbet is firm.
- 3 While the sorbet is freezing, prepare the hazelnut crunch. Roughly chop the roasted hazelnuts and toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool completely.
- 4 Once the sorbet has set, scoop it into bowls and sprinkle the toasted hazelnut crunch generously on top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and an added hint of freshness.
Serving Suggestions
- • For an extra decadent treat, serve the sorbet with a side of mixed berries such as blueberries or raspberries. Their tartness complements the sweet and creamy flavors of the jackfruit sorbet perfectly. Pair this dessert with a refreshing herbal tea, like lemongrass or chamomile, to enhance the tropical notes. You might also consider serving the sorbet in hollowed-out coconut shells for an exotic presentation that’s sure to impress. This not only elevates the visual appeal but also adds a subtle coconut aroma that enhances the experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep well for up to one week. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. The hazelnut crunch can be stored separately in a sealed container at room temperature to maintain its crispness.
