Avocado Lime Sorbet

Easy To Make Frozen Dessert

When I was a kid summer meant living in my bathing suit and flip flops, hanging out at the pool with friends or lounging in the shade with a good book. And of course, eating popsicles, ice cream, and other frozen treats.

Sadly I no longer get to spend all my summer afternoons swimming and reading but I do still enjoy a cold, creamy treat on a hot summer day.

Total prep & Freeze time: 8 Hours

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon lime zest, green part only

2/3 cup fresh lime juice, juice from about 3 limes
1 cup water

Process sugar and zest in food processor about two minutes
Add avocado, lime juice, and water and process until smooth
Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a shallow bowl and discard the solids
Cover the bowl and freeze for about 2 hours
Return to food processor and process until smooth. Or, if you have a stick blender, simply scrape down the sides of the bowl and blend the mixture right in the bowl
Repeat the freezing and blending two more times, then freeze for 1 to 8 hours before serving
Best if served within 24 hours

I used to believe that guacamole was the ultimate in all things avocado, but then I tried this sorbet. After finishing this creamy, sweet, and tart confection, you may be tempted to lick the bowl clean.
