Full disclosure time, I know there's measurements in the recipe below, but I didn't use them. Today was a day for saving on dishes and improvising, so I used all the ingredients but just eyeballed the amount.
It worked out; the kids and Sylvia devoured these as soon as I was done shooting and they all seemed to enjoy the treat and came back for more, so this one is a winner on a hot summer day!
Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 6 Cups of raspberries (I used frozen raspberries)
- 2 cups of raspberry sorbet, softened
- 1 tablespoon of finely grated lime zest, plus more for garnish, if you'd like
- 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice (3 or 4 limes)
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream, softened
Directions:
01. Mix 5 cups of raspberries, the sorbet, lime zest, and lime juice into a blender. Use a spatula to push down the ingredients. Pulse a few times, then puree until very smooth.
02. Add ice cream and puree, stopping and stirring with spatula as needed.
03. Stir in 1 cup raspberries. (I skipped this and just threw all my raspberries in at once)
04. Pour mixture into glasses. Garnish if you'd like and serve immediately.
Hope everyone is having a very Sweet Sunday.
