What is a sorbet? By definition, a sorbet is dessert consisting of frozen fruit juice or flavored water and sugar. It’s not as creamy as an ice cream, but has more of a texture to it because it doesn’t contain any milk.

To make this California Avocado Sorbet, you only need four simple ingredients. First thing is make a simple syrup, which is very easy. All you need to do is boil water and sugar (I used a sugar substitute) and then let cool. Once this is cool, blend avocados, lime zest and lime juice along with the simple syrup in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Pour in your ice cream maker and churn until the desired consistency. This sorbet is super easy to make and the outcome is a delicious sorbet dessert. You will be pleasantly surprised at the creamy, delicious flavor of this sorbet! Enjoy!
