Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 12 ounces fresh, pitted cherries ((can substitute frozen cherries off season))
- 1 cup cold water
- 4 teaspoons honey or sweetener of your choice ((adjust to taste))
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Optional garnishes: whipped cream, lime zest
Instruction
- Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender. Adjust sweetness to taste. Pour the mixture into a shallow glass baking dish and place in the freezer.
- Remove the dish after 30 minutes and using a fork, scrape the mixture, breaking up any icy clumps. Return the dish to the freezer. Repeat the process every thirty minutes or so, scraping the mixture with a fork to break up the ice crystals and create a light and fluffy texture. It should take about 2 hours total.
