Description
Bright, tangy, and refreshingly sweet, this Homemade Raspberry Sorbet is a perfect treat for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, it’s easy to make and bursting with natural raspberry flavor.
Ingredients
For the Sorbet:
- 5 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup water
- 1½ cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Blend the Raspberries:
- Combine raspberries and water in a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
- Strain the Seeds:
- Pour the puree through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing with a spatula to remove seeds. Discard the seeds.
- Add Sweetness and Flavor:
- Stir sugar, vanilla extract, and lime juice into the strained puree. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness or tanginess as needed.
- Chill the Mixture:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1–2 hours until fully chilled.
- Churn the Sorbet:
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20–25 minutes).
- Freeze Until Firm:
- Transfer the churned sorbet to a loaf pan or airtight container. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Scoop into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh raspberries or mint if desired.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use fresh raspberries, but frozen ones work too (thaw before blending).
- Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the raspberries.
- Let the sorbet soften for 5–10 minutes at room temperature before scooping.
