Sorbet is the perfect treat to cool down any warm day. Add it to your frozen dessert spread alongside olive oil ice cream with Meyer lemon zest, or coconut matcha ice cream. Its refreshing texture and base of hydrating fruit makes it ideal for such days. This recipe is sweetened with organic cane sugar, which keeps it free of potential animal byproducts as conventional cane sugar is often processed with bone char. It’s important to keep the sugar water ratio 1:1 to prevent the sorbet from becoming icy.
If you’re using an ice cream maker, this treat can be ready in less than 30 minutes! We like this ice cream maker by Breville and this Cuisinart ice cream maker. But fret not, an ice cream maker is not required to make this delicious dessert. A loaf pan plus ice cream scoop will achieve the same results, just with a bit of waiting in between that will be well worth it.
One Easy Sorbet Recipe, Countless Variations
You can make this recipe with any fruit you like. You can use either frozen or fresh. The advantage of using frozen fruit is it will chill faster. But using fresh fruit can be great, especially if you have extra to use up.
Mango creates a creamy sorbet while raspberry creates a tart yet sweet sorbet. If you’re having trouble deciding which fruit, strawberry is also a great choice since it’s a classic crowd-pleaser. Feel free to add lemon or lime juice to this recipe for a tangy twist. Try garnishing your sorbet with fresh fruit or mint for a perfect presentation.
If using a seedy fruit like strawberries or raspberries, try straining it through a sieve before transferring to an ice cream maker or pan. This will ensure you will get smooth sorbet without any grittiness.
Think outside the box and try whatever fruit your heart desires!
