5 minute avocado sorbet
No ice cream machine? No Kitchen-aid stand mixer? No time? Fine. I’ll make an avocado sorbet in 5 minutes (this does not include freeze time).
Slice the avocados into thin strips and splash it with lots of lime juice. This is to keep it from browning, and it will add flavor to the sorbet. Freeze ahead of time, you can do this the night before or 3-4 hours ahead. This sorbet is flavored with lime juice, lime zest, and cilantro. You can omit the cilantro if you want to taste just the avocado.
Every single sorbet recipe I’ve encountered requires you to boil corn syrup, water, and sugar together. But you don’t have to boil anything or wait for it to cool here. Just chop cilantro, prep your lime zest, and pour simple syrup and corn syrup that you can buy at the store. Set it aside or put it in the fridge to keep it cool. This took me 30 seconds.
Take out the frozen avocados.
Pour your liquid into the frozen avocado batch that will eventually go into the processor< ?font>
.
Get your dish ready. The texture will be cold and firm because of the frozen avocados. Pulse until smooth (should take 3 minutes max).
Serve it straight from the machine. I used those cake decorator thingies for presentation purposes. The cup was also frozen before hand to keep it nice and cold.
Put it in the freezer for a harder texture like the one displayed below. I prefer the texture of this sorbet when it’s straight from the processor because it is so smooth. The ice cream holder is available here.
Garnish with cilantro. I am obsessed with avocado sorbet right now. It is the perfect solution to use up any avocados that might go bad. And because it is frozen, the avocado can never go bad.
Yummm! I’m going to the market for avacados!!
delicious and vegan
delizioso! great idea. haven’t made much use of the freezer these days. keep forgetting its useful for food preservation. :
They remind me of slurpee but this is way posh and healthy.
BTW, how did you retain the colour? Most avocados go brown over time!
Looks so yummy!
Wow! not only are the sorbets/ice creams pretty, I am sure they taste amazing as well! A must!
You friggin’ kill me I swear to God, haha. I don’t even like avocado too too much and you’ve got me drooling all over myself here!

YES! That is so brilliant!
Looks absolutely divine…! (as usual)
I’d love to see a Luxirare book!!!
So pretty!
You are truly an inspiration.
Gorgeous! Luckily I have avocados on hand…
Definitely going to try this! Love it!

Brilliant! I usually use banana. Banana works too, but it doesn’t look as creamy since it has less fat content than avocado. Would definitely try avocado now! Thanks! =)
That really does look good…
Not sure what simple syrup is though… can you help?
looks really delicious (:
I think I’m gonna try to make that myself!!

Sounds delicious – could you please give me more detailed measurements? I guess it is 75 ml liquid (half syrup, half corn syrup?) but how much avocado (2 ? which means approx. ? g) and cilantro?
Thanks in advance for the additional information – keeps me from trying several times within the next days.

Mmm, I love avocado so I’m definitely going to be trying this sometime soon.
I’ve never tried avocado with sugar. Of course it is a fruit… Interesting. and easy. I have to find a substitute for corn syrup, as I am moving back to Paris and it doesn’t exist in France. I’m sure I’ll find it.
This is amazing! I can’t wait to try this! The avocado tree in my backyard is giving me so much fruits that I have to make them into ice cream (the usual way with custard, lime, cooling, freezing) right away! But since I live in a very warm country, the ice cream bowl takes mo than 24 hours to freeze! This is such a practical solution! And I love that you used cilantro!
Loving this! I tried something the other day, that I think you will like; Basil sorbet! It was probably one of the most delicious things, I’ve ever tried. I hope you’ll try to make it, if so, I’m looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful pictures
This looks so sensational.
Cilantro is my new summer herb..my new mint and arugula. This looks fabulous.
I would love you to post a nice and simple lemonade recipy. The other ones you find around the internet seriously suck..
Delicious looking as usual. I love your food posts.
I made this awesome recipe and just want to note that it reallllly helps to have a good quality blender/processor that is able to crush ice. Otherwise your result is lumpy.
I also tried doing a sorbet with the same concept although I made a mint simple syrup – not as creamy obviously but super fresh! Love your site!!
The pictures are amazing and you have made me want to try this out!
So creative and inventive. Amazing. Beautiful and mouthwatering photos too!
Truly brilliant! Love that this is vegan, healthy, unique…yet still sounds totally delicious, and is easy to make!
BRILLIANT. That’s all I have to say.
…So this is frozen, sweetened guacamole? I bet it tastes good but I could never get past being weirded out by the fact that it’s essentially good ole guac.
@k yea basically!
This looks so good, I can’t wait to try…can we get an actual recipe with measurements?
amazing!! it looks delicious!! I love avocados so I’m definitly going to try it!!
that’s awesome–and great photos which help. thanks. two really naive questions though…when you pour the liquid into the avocados are you supposed to pour the cilantro too and blend that, or was that just to add flavor to the juice? also, what did you mean by “prep your lime zest?!” does that just mean squeeze some limes so they are ready? thanks
-not a cook!
I made this to go with the Lox Crepes today and woah nelly, I have a new favorite dessert. It’s awesome AND HEALTHY. Thanks a lot for sharing!
“Food decorator thingies” = a pastry bag with (what appears to be) a medium round tip.
Maaaaaaaaan Thats awesome
