Don't skip the vodka. It will give the sorbet a smoother, less icy texture.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium peaches, peeled, chopped, frozen (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. vodka
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. honey
6 oz. fresh blackberries, halved
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Process peaches, yogurt, vodka, salt, and 1/4 cup honey in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour peach mixture into a loaf pan (a metal pan will conduct cold more efficiently than tempered glass) and place a piece of parchment paper on top, pressing directly onto surface. Freeze until sorbet is firm, about 6 hours.
  • A little before serving, lightly crush half of the blackberries in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, remaining berries, and remaining 2 Tbsp. honey and let sit, tossing occasionally, until berries have released some of their juices, about 20 minutes.
  • Scoop sorbet into bowls and top with macerated blackberries.
  • Do Ahead
  • Sorbet can be made 3 days ahead. Keep frozen. Thaw in refrigerator 30 minutes before scooping into bowls.

SAFFRON LASSI



Saffron Lassi image

You've had a mango lassi, I've had a mango lassi, we've all had a mango lassi. *Yawn.* But, have you ever had a saffron lassi? Aside from the fact that saffron always tints food with its beautiful yellow hue, it has the most unique taste and aroma-it's hard to compare it to anything else! Maybe that's why it's so precious (in addition to the incredibly laborious agriculture practice associated with saffron, which includes farmers picking each thread individually from saffron flowers). It really can't be replicated. I love the way this saffron lassi tastes because it reminds me of my mom's shrikhand-a strained yogurt dish, flavored with cardamom, saffron, pistachios, and sugar. It is sweet, aromatic, and not to mention, gorgeous! Make this dairy-free Saffron Lassi to bring some of those shrikhand flavors into your home.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup raw cane sugar
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads (5 to 6 threads), plus 2 for optional garnish
1 cup full-fat nondairy yogurt, preferably coconut
1/2 cup ice
3 tablespoons unsweetened nondairy milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped unsalted pistachios, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the saffron syrup: In a small pot, stir together 1/2 cup water and the sugar and set over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the saffron threads, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until the mixture reduces and thickens to a maple syrup consistency. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Make the lassi: In a blender, combine the nondairy yogurt, ice, nondairy milk, and saffron syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy. Divide between two glasses and garnish with the cardamom, pistachios, and saffron threads, if using.

Tips:

  • For a creamier lassi, use full-fat yogurt.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the blackberries and yogurt together with a fork or whisk.
  • To make a vegan lassi, use coconut yogurt or almond milk yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla or almond extract for extra flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh blackberries or mint leaves for a pop of color.

Conclusion:

Blackberry lassi is a delicious, refreshing, and nutritious drink that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is also a great way to use up fresh blackberries. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this delicious lassi at home in just a few minutes. So next time you are looking for a cool and refreshing drink, give blackberry lassi a try. You won't be disappointed!
