Jamaican Ginger Beer Sherbet

    Share

    A creamy, smooth silken tofu dessert with a tropical flair, this sherbet is almost as easy to make as it is to eat. An inexpensive manual ice cream maker does an excellent job on this and other homemade frozen delights.

    12 oz (350 g) firm silken tofu 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) organic Jamaican-style ginger beer (not ginger ale) 1 cup (250 mL) organic unbleached granulated sugar 2 Tbsp (30 mL) rum, natural rum extract, or rum-flavoured coffee syrup

    Process all ingredients together in blender until very smooth. Refrigerate until quite cold, then freeze according to ice cream maker directions. Pack into quart container and freeze for several hours before serving. If sherbet is very hard, let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes or so, until soft enough to scoop out easily.

    Makes about 4 cups (1 L).

    Breakfast: Sweet Potato and Spinach Egg Bites

    Egg bites are a delicious and convenient way to get some protein in the mornings. These ones get an extra nutrition boost with antioxidant-rich sweet potato and spinach. Using grated sweet potato ensures all of the ingredients cook evenly during the baking time. Once you’ve made these—and tasted their goodness—they’ll become an easy addition to your breakfast repertoire. Reheat and repeat While these egg bites go together in a minute, you can also make them ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat when you’re ready to eat them. Five minutes in the air fryer on the reheat setting at 325 F (160 C) will do it nicely. Or place them on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler for about 2 minutes.
