SORBET
A delicious dairy and fat free dessert which
is a perfect way to finish off a meal or enjoy
as a treat on a hot day! Sorbets have a sugar
syrup base.
When making sorbets it is essential that the
freezer canister is as cold as possible. In
most cases the paddle will not turn itself off
as sorbet has a softer consistency. To gauge
if your sorbet is ready, wait until the mixture
comes close to the top of the paddle or looks
quite frozen. This time will vary depending on
temperature of ingredients, freezer canister
and abient temperature.
