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
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small chunks.
Step 2
In a medium pot, add the chopped sweet potatoes and 2 cups of water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Stir until the sugar dissolves, then remove the mint syrup from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to steep.
Step 6
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool to room temperature.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust the amount of lemon juice or sugar if necessary.
Step 9
Transfer the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Step 10
Freeze the mixture for about 4 hours, stirring and breaking up the ice crystals with a fork every hour to create a smooth texture.
Step 11
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.
