    Let's just get this straight right off the bat. I am a chocolate lover. It is my go-to dessert. I love rich, dark chocolate - the darker the better in most cases.

    I really couldn't care less about all the other desserts out there unless I am struck over the head and forced to eat it. Just kidding. Well, sort of.

    So, I must have been struck over the head recently because here we have a Cucumber Mint Sorbet. What!

    How did that get here? Oh, I remember now, it was because I went to Market on the Move, where they give you up to 60 lbs. of produce for a measly $10 donation. I happened to walk away with 70 or so cucumbers.

    So I was off to the races creating cucumber recipes.

    Vegan Cucumber Salad, Cucumber Dressing, Cucumber Dill Dip, Cucumber Mint Sorbet... I think this is turning into a Forrest Gump movie.

    This vegan sorbet is light and refreshing. It also makes a great cocktail if you let it melt down a little bit. Add a splash of vodka and you have a slushie.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Cucumber mint sorbet ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Cucumber: I prefer English cucumbers because they're less bitter and have fewer seeds than American cucumbers.

    • Sugar: Adds sweetness. Used to make a simple syrup.
    • Water
    • Lime juice and lime zest: Add a bright tangy flavor.

        That's a good point, since it is light it would work well after a heavy meal.
