Indulge in a luscious, nutrient-packed Avocado and Date Sorbet with exotic spices. A creamy, vegan dessert that's both healthy and delicious!
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2 large
- • Medjool dates, pitted: 10
- • coconut milk: 1 cup
- • fresh lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • ground cardamom: 1/2 teaspoon
- • ground cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • pinch of sea salt: 1
Instructions
- 1 Start by soaking the pitted Medjool dates in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften them, which will make blending smoother and enhance the natural sweetness.
- 2 In a food processor, combine the soaked dates, avocados, coconut milk, lime juice, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- 3 Once the mixture is smooth, taste and adjust the flavor with additional lime juice or spices if desired. This is your opportunity to balance the sweetness and spice to your liking.
- 4 Transfer the avocado and date blend into a shallow freezer-safe container. Smooth the top with a spatula and cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- 5 Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the sorbet is firm enough to scoop. For best texture, consider stirring the mixture every hour to ensure even freezing.
- 6 Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve this decadent sorbet in chilled bowls for a refreshing treat. Top with fresh mint leaves for added aroma and a pop of color, or sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes for a delightful crunch. Pair with a side of fresh tropical fruits such as mango or pineapple to enhance the exotic flavors. For a beverage pairing, consider a chilled, lightly sweetened herbal tea or a sparkling water infused with citrus, which will complement the rich, creamy texture of the sorbet while keeping the palate refreshed and balanced.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sorbet in the freezer in an airtight container for up to one week. To maintain the creamy texture, place a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface of the sorbet before sealing the container. Allow the sorbet to soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving again to ensure easy scooping.
