Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 15 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small chunks.
In a medium pot, add the chopped sweet potatoes and 2 cups of water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the sweet potatoes simmer for about 20 minutes, or until they are very tender when pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes cook, create a simple mint syrup by combining the granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and the fresh mint leaves in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove the mint syrup from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to steep.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool to room temperature.
Remove the mint leaves from the syrup and discard them. Combine the mint syrup, cooked sweet potatoes, lemon juice, and salt in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust the amount of lemon juice or sugar if necessary.
Transfer the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the mixture for about 4 hours, stirring and breaking up the ice crystals with a fork every hour to create a smooth texture.
When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls and garnish with additional fresh mint leaves if desired.
