“Um, Mum, we are coming with you, aren’t we? Because (and sorry to have to tell you this), we actually have more fans than you do on this blog.”]
Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly, or else is so easy to make that no recipe is required. Here’s my first “Flash in the Pan.”
Speedy Fruit Sorbet

When I crave something sweet, creamy, and cold, this is my current indulgence. It’s made almost entirely of fresh-frozen fruit, so there’s absolutely no guilt. And it’s ready in about three minutes. I’m loving this sorbet!

looks like a great idea – but I have never been a big ice cream fan and especially not in winter! Doesn’t it make you cold inside? Well, cold and healthy with all the fruit – love the bright colours of it (so much icecream is so pale)

Surprisingly, I made this because I just craved something smooth and cold after a very spicy dish we ate the other day. And I find this a fairly light dessert, since fruit digests so quickly.

I must get myself an ice cream maker. This looks too good to pass up!

Yummy! I have a bunch of frozen mangoes in the freezer. Must make later. Love the photo, too. Gorgeous. Have a wonderful weekend and don’t work too hard. 😀

What a great idea! I need to test it out in mini batches in my trusty magic bullet 😉

Great, now I want that right now!!

Hi Ricki,
You just inspired me with this recipe to buy the Kitchen Aid immersion hand blender. This sorbet will be the first thing I try!

Ricki,
Thanks for stopping by my blog and helping me discover your delightful little space.:-)
The sorbet looks wonderful and it’s so easy to make too.
You can do this with a food processor?! Wow!

You rock–I love it! That looks beautiful and sounds amazing. I bet it will come together really quickly in my vita-mix…I am making it tonight!
Courtney
Hmmm….for some reason it won’t let me post this–I’ll try once more…

What a fantastic idea. Quick and easy and I can just imagine how delicious it was. Thanks for sharing this bit of inspiration!

Romina,
I actually made this in a food processor–much easier! But I bet it would work in the icecream maker, too 🙂 .
Deb,
I bet this would be great with mango as the main ingredient! Hope your weekend is good, too–enjoy the celebration! 🙂
Lizzie,
Would love to hear how this works in a Magic Bullet. I’ve been dying to get one for ages.
Vegan Noodle,
It would be my pleasure to whip some up for you. . . if only Houston weren’t so far away!
Karen,
I’d love to know whether this worked out with the hand blender. Did you try it?
TBC,
Thanks for visiting! I enjoyed reading your blog. Glad you like the sorbet!
Courtney,
I’ve read that a Vitamix can be used for this type of thing. . . and it really is worth a try, it’s light and delish! (And glad the 2nd try came through). 🙂
Lisa,
If you like sorbet, I think you’ll really enjoy this. I’m all for quick and easy!

I tried this in my mini-food processor and it was fantastic! I used a little bit of brown rice syrup instead of agave. I think my banana wasn’t ripe enough -I just couldn’t wait. My hubby is going to love this. Thanks so much for posting!

Karen,
So glad you liked it! The first time I made it, I asked my HH if he wanted any and he said, “NO thanks.” Of course I still made him some and when he tasted it, he wanted half! So I’m sure your hubby will enjoy it, too. 🙂

I love to do this for dessert. Sometimes I do it with just a frozen banana and a dash of vanilla, and it is still so unexpectedly delicious.

Jenny Wren,
I love the simple banana flavor, too–first learned about that one in a raw cooking class (they made it in a super-powered juicer instead). It’s great. But sometimes, you just wanna have berries!
