Successful Sorbet!

I recently purchased an ice cream maker. This may seem silly when I live in a town with unbelievably good gourmet ice cream shops, but I wanted to make some of my own. I find myself being more and more sensitive to massive amounts of dairy and was hoping to make some non-dairy ice cream and some great sorbets with summer's bounty of fruits. The first attempts at Cardamom Rice Milk Ice Cream were less than successful, but then I made amazing strawberry sorbet from local strawberries. I also recently made peanut butter ice cream (with real half and half) and banana sorbet, which was SO easy, I can see it becoming my go-to solution to slightly over-ripe bananas.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with some healthy frozen treats, too. Reducing the sugar in some of the recipes, opting for non-dairy milks, trying some savory frozen treats (basil sorbet?). One recipe I'm looking forward to trying is avocado ice cream. So far, I'd say the machine has been worth it, even though I have no extra space for things in my kitchen, this is one little appliance that I'll make some room for!
