This sorbet is light, refreshing and healthy as cherries are packed with nutrients and are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. They also contain melatonin, which may improve sleep quality. Watch the video and get the recipe below.

Makes 2 cups

Ingredients

2 cups frozen tart cherries (sometimes called sour cherries)
½ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons lemon juice
¼ cup mint leaves
¼ cup coconut milk
¼ cup water
⅛ teaspoon salt

Directions

Place the tart cherries, maple syrup, lemon juice, mint, coconut milk, water and salt in a high-speed blender. Blend on low and gradually work up to high speed. Blend until the fruit is very smooth and thick, like the texture of soft-serve.

Don't overmix or your sorbet will start melting from the heat of the blender. If your cherries are too hard to blend, let them thaw for just a few minutes until your blender blade will move.

Serve as soft-serve immediately or pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, about 2-3 hours or overnight. If the sorbet firms up overnight, let it sit at room temp for 15 minutes until it's scoop-able.
