5 Fruit Sorbet Recipes
I’m curious about the mint chocolate chip. I’m guessing the spinach is for color. I don’t have peppermint extract but I do have mint growing in the garden. (I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know if it’s peppermint or spearmint or what.) If I sub in my mint for the peppermint extract, is it just to taste, or is there an amount I should target? Do you think the mint leaves would add the color I’d be looking for?
We used the WildSide or WildSide+ jar, and found it gave the best results. You can use the FourSide jar, but it may take a little longer and a bit more work.
We don’t have a butter pecan ice cream recipe, but that’s a great idea. We’ll have to try it out!
Check out the end of the post; we’ve added some dairy-free options.
You can substitute the whole milk with almond milk, but the ice cream will not come out as thick. If it’s not the consistency you want, you can put the ice cream in another container and let it freeze for a bit.
