Sorbet
Bright, icy, and intensely fruity, without dairy's richness.
Lens analyzedSorbet is a churned frozen dessert made from fruit purée or juice and sugar, with no dairy at all, giving it an icier, more intensely fruity result than ice cream or sherbet. It's often served between courses in formal meals to reset the palate.
Where it comes from
Sorbet's roots trace to iced fruit drinks in the Middle East and Persia, refined by Italian and French confectioners centuries later into the churned, freezer-set dessert served today. Its dairy-free base made it a natural fit for palate-cleansing courses in French fine dining.
Buying it
Check the fruit content near the top of the ingredient list, since some budget sorbets lean heavily on sugar and water with little actual fruit.
Storing it
It freezes harder than ice cream, so pull it out and let it sit on the counter for a few minutes before you try to scoop it.
Keeps about 6 months in the freezer.
