You know, there’s something truly magical about making your own sorbet at home.

I remember the first time I tried it; it was a sweltering summer day, and I had just picked fresh berries from the garden.

The joy of blending them into a smooth, icy treat was a game changer for me.

It’s not just about the flavor; it’s about connecting with the ingredients and savoring the process.

I keep a batch in the freezer for those spontaneous dessert cravings!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Using ripe fruit is key here! It adds natural sweetness, so you won’t need too much sweetener. You can also experiment with different fruits; peaches and pineapples work beautifully too. If you want a creamier texture, a little splash of coconut coconut milk adds a delightful richness.

Tips & Notes

  • I love using a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is mixed well.
  • If you want to get fancy, try adding a few fresh mint leaves into the blender for a refreshing twist!

Recipe Variations

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Just blend it straight from the freezer. You might need to add a touch more liquid to help it blend.

It'll keep well for about a week, but trust me, it’s so good you might finish it sooner!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by preparing your fruit. If you’re using berries, just rinse them; for mangoes or other larger fruits, chop them into smaller pieces.

  2. 2

    In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped fruit, maple syrup (or agave), lemon juice, and coconut water (or plant-based coconut milk). Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Taste the mixture; you can add more sweetener or lemon juice if you like it sweeter or tangier.

  4. 4

    Pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer.

  5. 5

    Let it freeze for about 3-4 hours. After an hour, give it a good stir with a fork to break up any ice crystals. This helps create a smoother texture.

  6. 6

    Once it’s fully frozen, scoop it out and serve! You can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
