Indulge in a creamy, nutrient-rich Pistachio-Pomegranate Sorbet with Mint and Chia Swirl. A refreshing, antioxidant-rich treat for healthy dessert lovers!
Ingredients
- • ripe bananas: 3, peeled and sliced
- • pomegranate juice: 1 cup, freshly squeezed or 100% pure
- • shelled pistachios: 1/2 cup
- • fresh mint leaves: 1/4 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon

Instructions
- 1 Begin by preparing your pistachios. Blend the shelled pistachios in a food processor until they form a fine paste, adding a few tablespoons of water if needed for smoothness.
- 2 In a blender, combine the ripe bananas, pomegranate juice, pistachio paste, pure maple syrup, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- 3 Pour half of the sorbet mixture into a freezer-safe container. In a separate small bowl, mix the chia seeds with 1/4 cup of water and allow them to gel for about 10 minutes.
- 4 Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and mix them into the gelled chia seeds. Swirl this minty chia mixture into the sorbet base in the container, using a spoon to create a marbled effect.
- 5 Pour the remaining sorbet mixture over the top, sealing the mint and chia swirl within the center. Cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- 6 Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and enjoy the cool and refreshing blend of flavors.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Exotic Pistachio-Pomegranate Sorbet with Mint and Chia Swirl pairs beautifully with a handful of fresh berries or a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added texture. For a refreshing beverage pairing, consider serving it with a chilled herbal tea, such as hibiscus or chamomile, to complement its fruity and floral notes. For a more indulgent experience, drizzle a touch of dark chocolate sauce over the sorbet. This not only enhances its sweetness but also adds a rich, contrasting flavor profile sure to delight your taste buds.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To maintain its creamy texture, allow the sorbet to soften slightly at room temperature before serving. This ensures the flavors remain vibrant and the texture stays smooth and scoopable.
