Lemon Avocado Sherbet

IMG_3526_LR.jpg

Thanks to my most recent fruit feast, I have been on quite the avocado kick. I simply cannot say enough great things about this amazing fruit. It’s nutty, smooth and flavorful, it has a rich and creamy texture, it’s simply delicious. In keeping with this theme I decided to move avocados into the desert menu.

A couple of months ago, a friend of mine shared an avocado dessert recipe that I knew I had to make for myself. Dessert can be one of the more challenging items to make gluten & dairy-free but this is quick, simple and tasty. With summer fast approaching it’s the perfect light and refreshing delight. Enjoy!
