Confession: I invariably say the name of this dessert as if it sounded like “sure, Burt” even though I know perfectly well that there is no R at the end of the word “sherbet”. Maybe you do that, too? Well, however you pronounce it, this vegan mango sherbet is going to make you say “yum.”
The creamy, silky texture of this frozen dessert comes from using almond milk-based coffee creamer as a base. Califia Farms makes a great one that incorporates a bit of coconut cream to thicken. If you can’t do almonds, a fully coconut creamer would also work great here, or the dairy-free cream of your choice.
PS. Add an adult-friendly spin to this dreamy dessert with an optional splash of vodka or tequila.
