FAQs
Can this sorbet be prepared in bulk and stored?
No, it’s best enjoyed immediately after blending. Storing it may affect its sweetness and texture.
How much sugar should be added for bulk storage?
For every 500g of sorbet, add 200g of sugar or 150g of maple syrup or honey. Adding alcohol can help maintain its texture.
Can I add flavors?
Yes, you can use any seasonal fresh or frozen fruits. Sweeteners are optional.
Is it mandatory to buy fresh fruits?
No, you can use frozen fruits. If using fresh fruits, peel, cut, and freeze them for later use.
Can I use overripe fruits?
Yes, but avoid added sugar as overripe fruits are naturally sweet.
How to check sugar density with an egg test?
Float a washed and dried egg in the base. If the shell is bigger than a dime, there’s too much sugar. Add water or fruit puree to adjust.
Tips for Making Smoothie Sorbet:
– Use fresh, ripe, and clean fruits.
– Use minimal alcohol to avoid freezing issues.
– Balance excess sweetness with lemon juice.
– Use light corn syrup if the egg sinks during the sugar test.
– Prepare syrup by boiling equal parts sugar and water, then cool and add to the base.
– Freeze the sorbet base on the same day you plan to consume it for the best texture.
– Thaw and refreeze as needed to adjust flavor.
