What Makes Sorbet so Creamy?

Sorbet gets its creaminess from the sugar that is added and from the fruit. Since there is no egg or dairy added, making sure the right amount of sugar is added is important for the texture.

If you freeze freeze blended fruit or juice, then it would turn to a hardened black of ice crystals. So making sure you freeze quickly and blending the ingredients while frozen will keep it creamy.

Why is My Homemade Sorbet Icy?

The reason your sorbet is icy is because you may have added to much water out of your fruit. That is why it is important that your fruit is frozen. If you are using fresh fruit, make sure that you freeze it before blending.

You may need to add in some sugar to help with the icy texture with the sorbet.

Do I Need an Ice Cream Machine?

No, you don’t need a ice cream maker machine. This recipe requires only a blender or a food processor to mix the frozen ingredients.

Prepare the homemade sorbet by using slice berries and add to your high power blender and blend until smooth.

Variation Ideas:

  • Change the fruit – You can use different types of fruit some of our favorites are cherry, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, and strawberry.
  • Use Different Sweeteners – To make it sugar free, you can use powdered monk fruit Allulose blend.
  • Making it thinner – If you prefer the sorbet a little thinner, you can add in some sugar and water.
  • Savory Sorbet – Instead of fruit, you can make sorbet with vegetables celery, pepper, carrot and beets.
  • Tea Sorbet – You can make sorbet with herbal tea, coffee or even chocolate.

FAQs

What makes sorbet so creamy? ›

Without fat from dairy or eggs, it's the suspension of sugar within the fruit purée that allows the sorbet to churn into something with a creamy mouthfeel. You need 20-30% sugar in your sorbet, which will come from your fruit plus some added sugar.

What is raspberry sorbet made of? ›

Put the raspberries and lemon juice in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a bowl and discard the seeds. Combine with the sugar syrup, then pour into freezer-proof container.

How do you keep sorbet creamy? ›

Sugar plays a larger roll in the sorbet than just sweetening the fruit juice. It's also crucial for the sorbet's texture. Too little sugar and the sorbet becomes icy, too much and it can be slushy — hit the sugar level just right and the sorbet will taste creamy and melt evenly across your tongue.

How to make raspberry sorbet in blender? ›

Add mostly thawed raspberries, lemon juice, and honey to a blender. Blend to combine. Add to a loaf pan and freeze for approx. 90 min. or until semi-solid.

What is the secret to good sorbet? ›

If you don't know the exact sugar content of your fruit, the best thing you can do is play it safe. A sugar concentration between 20% to 30% will generally produce a scoopable, creamy sorbet. * Add less and your sorbet is too icy to scoop; add more and it may never freeze.

Why put egg white in sorbet? ›

The optional egg white helps to stabilize, emulsify, and preserve the texture of the sorbet if you are going to keep it in your freezer for a few days.

How is sorbet so smooth? ›

Commercial sorbets are almost always much smoother than you can achieve at home due to their ability to freeze the mixture faster and churn more powerfully so that the results are velvety and not icy at all.

What is sorbet stabilizer made of? ›

Ingredients: Gelatin, locust bean gum, cellulose gum, guar gum, milk whey protein concentrate & standardized with dextrose.

Why add vodka to sorbet? ›

Since alcohol doesn't freeze, the vodka helps add smoothness to the the crunchy, icy texture of the sorbet. I made mine with Heritage Distilling Company's vodka. Triple distilled with a smooth finish, it's the perfect addition to this refreshing dessert.

Why is sorbet healthier than ice cream? ›

Sorbet has less calories than ice cream and other frozen desserts, and no fat. It's fruit content also makes it rich in vitamin C. Any downsides? That fruit content also means it contains a fair bit of sugar, and if we're comparing it with ice cream and gelato, it has less calcium, vitamin A and iron.
