If you love tart raspberries, you will flip over this flavorful sorbet! I love that it is ready in just minutes – no ice cream maker required! Just blend ingredients in a food processor, top it with a bit of my chocolate magic shell, and get a ticket to a starch-free dessert city! This is also a great recipe for (everyone! but especially) those who can’t have nuts or coconut.

Ingredients

raspberries, frozen		2 cups
avocado, fresh, packed		⅓ cup
lime, juiced		1
vanilla extract		1 tsp
maple syrup (or honey/stevia, to taste)		3 tbsp
vodka (*optional, see Recipe Note)		½ tbsp

Directions:

Mash avocado and lime juice in a bowl until creamy.
Blend frozen raspberries in a food processor until they break down into icy raspberry bits.
Add mashed avocado, vanilla, and sweetener to the raspberries in the food processor, and blend into a creamy sorbet. Be careful not to over blend for too long, as you want this to stay cold and creamy.
Alternative method: Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender like a Vitamix. Blend, stopping occasionally to push the sorbet down off the sides.
Serve right away or put into a Tupperware container to firm up and enjoy later.

Recipe Notes:

• Use vodka for a softer sorbet, if you plan to freeze it for very long (like overnight or a couple of days). There is no need to add vodka if making it to serve immediately.
