Avocado Sorbet? Yeah my reaction was a bit skeptical too as I scribbled this down as “thing to make” somewhere back in the depths of February, my mind completely preoccupied with warmer days and all that they entailed. But think about it. Avocados make for all sorts of wonderful sweet pairings – avocado mousse, avocado key lime pie, why not sorbet? Its fatty content gives it just the right texture that has you going back for that second scoop.
As my strawberry obsession is at a bit of a fever pitch I swirled some strawberry jam through this – a totally optional, yet worthwhile endeavour.
