Is Sorbet Better Than Ice Cream?
Sorbet vs. ice cream
Sorbet has fewer calories and no fat than ice cream and other frozen desserts. It is also high in vitamin C due to its fruit content. However, because of the fruit content, it contains a fair amount of sugar. Also, compared to ice cream and gelato, it has less calcium, vitamin A, and iron.
What is It About Sorbet That Makes It So Creamy?
When making sorbet, the golden rule is to choose the right type of fruit. In fact, choose the BEST fruit. Fruits high in pectin (berries, stone fruit, and grapes) or fiber (mangoes, pears, and bananas) have a high viscosity and body, making for an exceptionally creamy sorbet with an ice cream-like texture.
How Do You Keep Your Sorbet in Good Condition After You’ve Spun It?
Keep it as cold as possible by stacking it in the back and bottom of your freezer with other items. Protect your sorbet from freezer odors by storing it in an airtight container. And, for best results, consume your sorbet within a week. Remember, this is a fresh fruit dessert without preservatives. It does not last indefinitely.
