Learn how to make sorbet with our indulgent recipes including lemon, raspberry and pineapple. Sorbet is a great vegan ice cream alternative as it usually doesn’t contain dairy. See the best ice cream makers to make preparation even easier. For more recipes, see our ultimate list of sorbet recipes. We also have our best granita recipes, ice cream recipes and ice lolly recipes. What is sorbet? Sorbet is a frozen dessert typically made by blending fruit with sugar and water. Typical flavours include citrus fruit such as lemon, lime and orange or stone fruit such as peaches and summer berries, although the options really are endless! Other ingredients such as liqueurs and spirits may be added to sorbets, which can change the texture slightly as alcohol has a lower freezing point than water. How to make sorbet This recipe will vary depending on the fruit or botanicals used, so it's best to refer to individual recipes in our sorbet collection. 1. Dissolve sugar in water by gently heating and stirring, and then simmer for 5 mins to form a syrup. 2. Prepare fruit and blitz in a food processor until smooth, then strain through a fine sieve into a bowl. 3. Combine the fruit purée with the sugar syrup then pour into a freezer-proof container. 4. Freeze for 1 hr 30 mins, then whisk with a balloon whisk or a fork to break up any ice crystals and return to the freezer. 5. Keep mixing the sorbet once an hour for 4 hrs to break up the ice crystals. Stop mixing when firm but scoopable. How long will homemade sorbet keep in the freezer? Most sorbets should keep frozen for up to three months. To serve, remove from the freezer and leave to stand for 5 mins before scooping. Is sorbet healthy? Sorbet is lighter than ice cream, but the high sugar content (a combination of natural fruit sugars and added white s…
