Tips for the Perfect Sorbet

  • Berry Freshness: Use ripe blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen berries, ensure they are thawed slightly before blending.
  • Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of honey or agave based on your taste preference and the sweetness of your fruit.
  • Texture: For a thicker texture, you can reduce the amount of water or add more fruit puree.
  • Add-Ins: Mix in some fresh berries, chia seeds, or a handful of granola after spinning for extra texture and crunch.

Fun Variations to Try

  • Mixed Berry: Add a mix of strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries to the blend for a mixed berry sorbet.
  • Tropical Twist: Add a splash of pineapple juice or mango puree for a tropical flavor boost.
  • Minty Fresh: Blend in a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing mint twist.

Storing Your Sorbet

  • Freeze Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Before serving again, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften.
  • Prevent Ice Crystals: To avoid ice crystals, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sorbet before sealing the container.
