Pina Colada Sorbet
SORBET INGREDIENTS
1 pineapple
1 can of full fat coconut milk
Some water as needed
INSTRUCTIONS
This one is super duper simple but it requires some prep ahead of time.
Peel your pineapple and cut it into chunks. Place the chunks of pineapple spread out on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours to freeze solid. For convenience sake you can transfer the solid frozen chunks of pineapple to a Ziploc baggie where they will keep for months and be ready to use for those last minute cravings.
To make the Pina Colada, fill the blender half way with frozen pineapple chunks. Shake your coconut milk really well as it tends to separate fats from liquids in the can. Pour the can of coconut milk into the blender with the pineapple and put the lid on.
Remove the centre of the cap and stick in the plunger. You need the plunger to move everything around while it is blending. It’s important to put the least amount of water in to keep it thick and to do that you need the plunger to keep everything moving smoothly. Start on manual setting on low speed and slowly build up the speed to full while moving the plunger around.
When everything is smooth you can scoop out the sorbet and serve it in a chilled glass with a cherry on top.
Makes approximately 4-6 servings
Whirled Peas Soup
SOUP INGREDIENTS
2 cups of frozen peas
2 cups of water
1/2 caup of sour cream
20 mint leaves
Pinch of sugar
Salt to taste
Chives, finely sliced on top
INSTRUCTIONS
The soup setting is very cool… err, hot.
Simply place the peas, water, sour cream, sugar and salt into the blender and adjust the setting to soup mode.
Put the lid on and hit the start button to begin the 5:45 minute cycle. With about 1 minute remaining, remove
the centre cap and put all the mint leaves in then put the cap back in.
When the cycle is done you will just need to check the soup for seasoning and add more salt as needed.
Then you can simply pour the hot soup directly from the blender into a bowl and serve topped with fresh
cut chives (and more sour cream if you like).
