Achacha Lime Sorbet
A refreshing tropical sorbet made with sweet-tart achacha pulp, fresh lime juice and a light sugar syrup.
Achacha lime sorbet is a refreshing frozen dessert that highlights the naturally sweet and tangy flavor of achacha fruit. Native to the Amazon region of Bolivia, achacha has juicy white flesh with a tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with fresh lime. This simple sorbet is perfect for warm afternoons, summer gatherings or as a light dessert after a meal. For the best texture, use ripe achacha fruit and chill the mixture completely before freezing. Stirring the sorbet during the first few hours of freezing helps create a smoother consistency if you are not using an ice cream maker.
