Otherwise the flavor is much more subtle than I wanted.

I tried both methods and ultimately decided that a mix of the two was actually the best option. My recipe searches online showed infused the cream with basil on the stove. I initially thought about doing basil infused simple syrup and adding that to whipping cream. The basil whipped cream is a bit more involved, but it’s still quite easy. Then back into the freezer until dessert time! Then I pop the fruit into the food processor (a good blender would work fine) and puree until it looks like sorbet. I like to let it sit for 5-10 minutes to defrost just slightly. With the frozen cherries, I just take the bag out of the freezer. You’d be surprised what you’ll find in frozen produce (usually salt, sugar, and/or a color preservative) – no thank you! These Raley’s dark sweet frozen cherries are just cherries and they are TASTY! One Ingredient Dessert The thing I get fanatical about, however, is what other ingredients are used. It can have the same nutrition and gives access to that goodness year round. It’s usually packed when it’s in season (and available in plentiful amounts). I’m a bit of a fanatic when it comes to buying frozen foods.

Their store brand includes organic and non-organic items in every department at lower costs than a number of name brands! Besides the jar of unsweetened applesauce I buy in bulk for C (yay for no plastic!), we’ve been trying their snacks, organic canned tomatoes and beans, eggs, and some of their frozen produce!

Raley’s has their own in-store brand that we’re really enjoying. With so much fresh basil these days, I decided to add the herb as an earthly balance to the natural sugars in the sorbet. Once I figured out that I could easily make the sorbet with just cherries, I was super excited! I wanted to get a little fancy (there’s room for that with one ingredient recipes), however, so I made some homemade whipped cream! This little guy is certainly putting my love of fruit (and veggies thankfully) to the test.įor this dessert, I wanted to use frozen cherries so it wouldn’t take so long to make (I’m impatient when it comes to dessert sometimes apparently)! I’m not sure if C likes cherries more than I do, but it’s comparable. I love that we don’t have to go into the store or worry about what to do with our little guy – a huge concern with grocery shopping for us these days. I just ordered on my app, put C in the car with me, and we went to pick all our groceries up (including the ingredients I needed for the sorbet). ONE!!! It’s really refreshing and tasty on its own, but I did make it a little fancy with a basil infused whipped cream!Īnd I made this whole dessert “process” even easier by using Raley’s online order and pickup service. This frozen cherry sorbet has 1 ingredient. A quick sorbet was in order – made a bit more decadent with a little twist on my homemade whipped cream recipe! You’ll never guess, but I’ve been desperately in need of dessert with practically no time to make it, nor do I want to turn on the oven when the bit of time does arise!Īlas.
