How to Make Avocado Sorbet
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ½ cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and stir in the zest of 1 lime.
- Allow the sugar syrup to cool completely (approximately 50-60 minutes).
- While the syrup cools, blend 2 ripe avocados, ¼ cup fresh lime juice, and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice in a high-speed blender until completely smooth.
- Add the cooled sugar syrup to the avocado mixture and blend until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow 13x9x2 inch pan (or two smaller pans) to a depth of about ½ inch. This ensures faster freezing and easier churning.
- Freeze for 1 hour.
- Remove the sorbet from the freezer and beat with a whisk or electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy. This process helps break up ice crystals.
- Pour the sorbet back into the pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze for another 4 hours, or until completely firm.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
