Ingredients
- • fresh orange juice: 1 cup
- • fresh grapefruit juice: 1 cup
- • lemon zest: 1 tablespoon
- • white miso paste: 1 tablespoon
- • honey or maple syrup (for vegans): 1/4 cup
- • ground ginger: 1/2 teaspoon
- • almond slices: 1/3 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • water: 2 cups
Instructions
- 1 In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, grapefruit juice, lemon zest, white miso paste, honey or maple syrup, and ground ginger. Heat over medium-low, stirring until the miso and sweetener are fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- 2 While the citrus mixture cools, prepare the almond crunch. In a small dry skillet over medium heat, add the almond slices and toast them until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- 3 Once the citrus mixture has cooled, pour it into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Stir in the chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed to help the sorbet thicken. Cover the container and place it in the freezer.
- 4 Freeze the sorbet for about 4 hours, stirring with a fork every hour to ensure a smooth texture and break up any ice crystals.
- 5 Before serving, allow the sorbet to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and top with toasted almond slices for a crunchy finish.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Spiced Miso Citrus Sorbet pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a light fruit salad for a refreshing dessert plate. Consider garnishing with a sprig of mint to enhance the citrusy aroma and add a touch of elegance. For a beverage pairing, a glass of iced green tea or a sparkling water with a splash of lemon enhances the refreshing qualities of the sorbet, making it a perfect end to a summer meal.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To maintain its smooth texture, stir the sorbet before re-freezing if you plan to enjoy it over several days. Avoid refreezing too many times as this can affect the texture.
