1 frozen banana (peeled and cut into chunks before frozen)
6 dates (Medjool variety are best)
1 tablespoon of vegan maple syrup or other sweetener
dash of nutmeg and cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
Place soy milk in blender and at low speed, add dates, one at a time
until the dates are completely pulverized. Add frozen banana chunks,
one at a time until you achieve the consistency you like. Add maple
syrup and spices. Serve immediately!
I like to pour this into a bowl, freeze it slightly, and eat it with
a spoon. Yum!!!!
Combine the vegan sugar and water in a heavy saucepan.
Bring to a boil over high heat and cook uncovered for 5 to 6 minutes, or until liquid has reduced to about 1/2 cup.
Set aside to cool.
While you're making the vegan sugar syrup, peel and seed the papaya.
Place the chunks of fruit in the work bowl of a food processor.
Juice the lime and toss the juice in with the papaya.
Process until you have a completely smooth puree.
Stir in the vegan sugar syrup and pour the whole works into a 9-inch square metal dish.
Freeze until firm, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
When the fruit puree is frozen, remove it from the freezer.
You should be able to lift it effortlessly out of the pan.
Break it into small chunks and put the chunks back into the food processor.
Whizz it around for a while.
The longer you whizz it, the more the texture of the sorbet will resemble ice cream.
It can get really good!
Devour immediately or scoop into an airtight dish (Tupperware works well) and freeze. You can store it for up to 1 month with no loss of flavor.
I have about a bazillion recipes for sorbet, all using different fruits. The proportions remain the same; vary the lime juice according to what fruit you are using. Sometimes you may not need any at all!
Try layering different flavors of sorbet in a champagne glass, rainbow style, and garnishing with fresh fruit, edible flowers, or a sprig of mint. I served this to my ice-cream-loving friends and they were wowed!
Pour the juice into an empty ice cube tray. Put in the freezer for
about 3 hrs with popsicle sticks in the juice so when they freeze you have
something to hold on to. Good for children's partys!
Remove pits from peaches. Puree peaches in food processor. Stir in orange juice and peach concentrates. Add 12 oz. of water. Freeze in ice cream maker.
I came up with this after looking for a peach sorbet recipe on the internet & finding none. I wanted to show my mother what a sorbet was, make a peach dessert for my stepdad, and find out how to use their ice cream maker. I am pleased to say I met all three of these goals, and named my creation in their honor.
