3-ingredient Mango Sorbet for ep. 12 of Better Than Store-Bought 🥭😍 Most store-bought sorbets are absolutely loaded with added sugar, but you only need 1/4 cup of honey for the entire batch of this recipe. If you have super sweet mango, you can always leave out the honey altogether! RECIPE: 5 cups fresh or frozen mango 1/4-1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 1/4-1/3 cup agave or honey If you want to serve these in mango halves, slice the mango and use a spoon to remove the fruit. It took about 5 mangos to get 5 cups. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and freeze until frozen solid (~2 hours). Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth. This may take a minute or two since the mango is frozen. Stop to scrape down the sides in between blending to make sure everything is incorporated. Enjoy right away for a soft serve style, or scoop into mango halves and return to the freezer until set (2-3 hours). You can adjust the lime juice and agave/honey to your preference! I personally love it with lots of lime juice and just a tiny bit of sweetener. If your mango is perfectly ripe, it may be naturally sweet enough on its own! PRO TIP: Add in a tiny splash of vodka or tequila. This will prevent it from freezing fully, so the sorbet will always be super easy to scoop straight from the freezer! #mango #sorbet #easyrecipe

Peanut Butter Ritz Cracker Sandwiches for ep. 9 of Better Than Store-Bought 🥜 (recipe below 👇) These were one of my favorite snacks growing up, but they’re even better homemade! The crackers are buttery, crisp, and made with just a few simple ingredients. They’re delicious plain, too – especially on a cheese/charcuterie board! The filling is just peanut butter and powdered sugar to thicken it. If you don’t want any added sugar in the filling, you can also just use a thicker unsweetened peanut butter or you can use powdered peanut butter with some water to thin it out. HOMEMADE RITZ PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS Makes ~24-30 sandwiches or 50-60 crackers Crackers: 1 ½ cups bread flour 2 ½ tsp baking powder 2 tsp sugar 1 tsp kosher salt 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed ½ cup cold water Egg wash + more salt for topping 
Filling: ¾ cup unsweetened peanut butter 4-5 tbsp powdered sugar (optional) Add flour, butter, baking powder, sugar & salt to a food processor and pulse a few times. Add in the water and pulse a few more times to incorporate. Move the dough to a clean surface and shape into a ball. Divide into two and flatten each into a ½ inch thick rectangle, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Roll the chilled dough into a circle about 9-10 inches in diameter. It should be about ⅛" thick. Aim for slightly thicker rather than thin if you're not sure. Cut into rounds with your fluted pastry ring and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a skewer, poke a few holes in each cracker. Beat an egg with 1 tablespoon of water, then brush lightly onto each cracker. Sprinkle crackers with a bit more kosher salt. Bake for ~15 minutes, or until outer edges of the crackers are golden brown. Let the crackers cool. Mix together peanut butter and powdered sugar and pipe or smear onto a cracker, then top with another to create your peanut butter sandwich.

Green Garden Cocktail 🪴🍹made with cucumber juice, elderflower liqueur, vodka, lime juice & simple syrup! (RECIPE below 👇) To make this into a mocktail, leave out the vodka or sub in a zero proof alternative like @Ritual Zero Proof. For elderflower, use an elderflower soda or syrup - we like @Fever-Tree elderflower tonic water! Green Garden Cocktail Makes 2 Ingredients: 1 large cucumber, peeled and diced 2-3 tbsp water 3 oz vodka or gin 2 oz elderflower liqueur 2 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed) 1 1/2 oz simple syrup (or more to taste) For garnish: cucumber ribbons and/or chamomile Add cucumber to a blender with water and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and discard the pulp. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 4-6 oz cucumber juice (depends on how much cucumber flavor you want) and all remaining ingredients. Shake well, then strain into 2 cocktail glasses. To make the cucumber garnish, use a peeler to peel thin strips of a mini cucumber. Accordion fold the cucumber strip and place on a cocktail pick. #vodka #cocktails #cucumber #spring #cheers
