Recipe: Goji Pomegranate Sherbet (using Greek yogurt, ice cream maker)

GOJI POMEGRANATE SHERBET

"This cool scoop swaps out a lot of saturated fat for flab-resisting vitamin C and fiber. But don't worry, it's plenty creamy; even though you can't taste it, avocado brings a rich, luxurious texture to every bite."

1 cup frozen black cherries*
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 ripe Hass avocado (about 1/2 cup)
2 cups plain, low-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup 100% pomegranate juice
1/2 cup goji berries (2 ounces)

Place the cherries and powdered sugar in a food processor and blend. Add the avocado and process again until smooth.

Place the cherry mixture and the yogurt in a large bowl and whisk well. Gradually whisk in the pomegranate juice until smooth. Stir in the goji berries.

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Serve or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

*CHEF'S NOTE:
There's no need to defrost the cherries before blending.
