Inspired by his grandmother Florence, a big sherbet fan who served it often for dessert, Chef Del Sroufe created this healthy version of his favorite sherbet flavor, pineapple. The tangy fruit is balanced out by blending it with creamy banana, sweet maple syrup, and citrusy lemon zest. Each spoonful of this delicious treat tastes like frozen sunshine, and the bright flavors are enhanced further with a sprinkling of fresh mint. Feel free to drizzle extra maple syrup over the top of each serving if you want to indulge your sweet tooth a little more. Additional topping ideas include chopped basil, if you’re going for a more savory route, or slivered almonds, shredded unsweetened coconut, or pumpkin seeds!
