Indulge in a healthy dessert with our matcha mango sorbet, swirled with chia coconut cream for a refreshing, nutrient-packed treat.
Ingredients
- • ripe mangoes: 2 large, peeled and diced
- • coconut milk: 1 cup, full-fat
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • matcha powder: 1 teaspoon
- • agave syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • mint leaves: a handful, for garnish
Instructions
- 1 Begin by preparing the chia coconut swirl. In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds and 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a gel-like consistency.
- 2 In a blender, combine the mangoes, remaining coconut milk, matcha powder, agave syrup, and lime juice. Blend until smooth, ensuring no chunks remain for a silky sorbet texture.
- 3 Pour the mango and matcha mixture into a freezer-safe container. Gently swirl through the prepared chia coconut mixture to create a marbled effect. Use a spoon or a skewer to achieve an elegant swirl.
- 4 Cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the sorbet is firm. Stir every hour for the first 2 hours to prevent ice crystals from forming and to maintain a smooth texture.
- 5 To serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
- • For an extra touch of freshness, garnish your sorbet with a few extra mint leaves or a sprinkling of shredded coconut. This dessert pairs beautifully with a chilled herbal tea, like a fragrant jasmine or chamomile, enhancing the delicate flavors of the matcha and mango. Consider serving this vibrant sorbet alongside a small fruit salad of berries or kiwi slices to enhance the tropical vibe. The bright colors and fresh flavors create a visually appealing and nutrient-packed dessert experience.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, keep the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. For best results, consume within one week to enjoy the optimal texture and flavor. Before serving again, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
