Sorbet is a frozen dessert made from fruit juice or puree, sugar, and water. It is similar to ice cream, but it does not contain milk or cream, making it a dairy-free and vegan option. Sorbet is typically lighter and less creamy than ice cream, but it still has a smooth and refreshing texture.
Here is a basic recipe for making Sorbet:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fruit juice or puree (such as lemon, raspberry, or strawberry)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of water

Instructions:
- In a saucepan, combine the fruit juice or puree, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Once the sorbet is churned, transfer it to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
You can make variations of this recipe by adding different ingredients such as herbs, spices, or liqueurs. You can adjust the sugar amount to your taste.
