Papaya Sorbet

Monday September 22, 2008 :: by Ingrid

Yum Papaya! I love this delicious antioxidant rich fruit. It is an excellent source of vitamin C and beta-carotene. I also love sorbets. They are easy to make icy treats generally made with sweetened fruit puree, or even with pureed vegetables for a savory treat.

This recipe is a delicious and healthy dessert you can enjoy it anytime. Guess what I’m having for breakfast.

Papaya Sorbet

Papaya sorbet is wonderful served as a standalone dessert or team it up with other scoops of fruity sorbet. It is nice served with slices of fresh fruit, especially with fresh papaya slice.

Wash the papayas and cut both in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, peel the skin with a vegetable peeler and cut into small chunks.

To make in an ice cream machine: place all ingredients in a food processor and process until well combined. Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and follow manufacturers instructions.

To make without an ice cream machine: place the small chunks for fresh papaya on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until frozen. Place the frozen papaya chunks in a food processor, add the fresh lime juice and agave, and process until smooth and creamy. Place the papaya mixture in a freeze friendly container with lid and freeze for about 2-3 hours before serving.

Makes about 4-8 servings, depending on the size of the scoop.

   When I visit you on the web, I’m first often speechless. Then I think of the exact same things as before. Then I have to try and stretch my brain past “Holy moly!” and “You rock!” Like today…I had to explain myself because all I’m thinking is “Holy moly!” and “You rock!” :o)

   Hi Isle Dance - I’ll take “Holy moly” and “You rock” anytime! Your comments are much appreciated. Thanks for stopping by.
