Cool Facts
Made from fruit. Sorbet starts with real fruit juice, fruit purรฉe, or other yummy stuff like wine or honey mixed together and then frozen solid. It's way simpler than ice cream because there's no milk or cream involved.
Icy and smooth. The mixture gets churned while it freezes so it becomes creamy and smooth instead of turning into a hard ice block. This special churning is what makes sorbet so nice to eat.
Centuries old. People have been making sorbet for hundreds of years, especially in warm countries around the Mediterranean and Middle East where staying cool was extra important.
Super fruity taste. Because sorbet has no cream to mix with, you get the real, strong taste of the fruit without anything diluting it. Every spoonful bursts with fruity flavor.
A refreshing choice. Many people love sorbet on hot days or as a palate cleanser between courses at fancy dinners because it's light, refreshing, and doesn't make you feel too full.
