Mango-Coconut Cream Sorbet


If you’re looking for a perfect Springtime dessert, try this Mango Coconut Cream Sorbet.  It’s one of many delicious “Spring” recipes in The Blooming Platter Cookbook by Betsy DiJulio, recently published by Vegan Heritage Press.

As light and refreshing as it is decadent and delicious, this sorbet would make a great dessert for Passover or Easter.  With only three ingredients, it’s a cinch to make, too. Here’s the recipe:
