What is Sugar-free Fruit Sorbet?

This sugar-free fruit sorbet recipe requires only three ingredients; frozen fruit, water, and agave syrup. Normally, sorbet is made with fresh fruit and a simple syrup of sugar and water before being frozen. However, they can also include honey, corn syrup, or alcohol, which not only imparts flavor to sorbet but also makes it more creamy.

This version of sorbet is incredibly easy to make as it includes frozen fruit that you can simply blend with the other ingredients until it reaches the correct consistency. The sorbet will be ready to serve immediately as well, meaning that you won’t have to wait for it to freeze in the freezer.

Pro Tips

• For the best tasting sorbet, choose ripe fruit as it will have the best flavor.
• Although this recipe calls for fresh fruit that you freeze yourself, you could use store-bought frozen fruit instead.
• For added flavour, feel free to add other ingredients like lime juice, lemon juice, citrus zest, or vanilla.
• If you find there are still large chunks of fruit in your sorbet, you may need to give the mixture a stir before blending it again.

What to Serve with Sugar-free Fruit Sorbet?

This sorbet can be served with just some fresh fruit on top or you can make it fancier by serving it with various garnishes. The sorbet would be delicious topped with crushed meringues, fresh mint leaves, toasted coconut, nuts, cookies like shortbread or gingersnaps, and more.

Can I Add Other Ingredients to the Sorbet?

Yes, if you would like your sorbet to have more flavor, you could easily add other ingredients as long as they don’t affect its consistency. A little lime or lemon zest or juice would make a wonderful addition if you love the taste of citrus in desserts. Alternatively, you could add some vanilla extract if you appreciate the taste of vanilla in your frozen desserts.

Can I Make Sorbet With Other Fruit?

Yes, the beauty of this recipe is that you could really make it with any fruit that you prefer as long as they don’t contain any seeds. Consider trying it with strawberries, mixed berries, or seedless watermelon.

Can I Replace the Agave Syrup With Another Sweetener?

Yes, you definitely could! Agave syrup is wonderful as it has a more neutral flavor than other sweeteners. However, if you don’t have it on hand, you could easily replace it with honey or maple syrup instead.

How to Store Sugar-free Fruit Sorbet

If you have leftovers of the sorbet, you can place it in a sealed container in the freezer where it should keep for several weeks. It will firm up quite a bit more in the freezer but you can pull it out of the freezer a few minutes before you serve it so it can soften.

Step 1: Cut your fruit of choice into cubes and freeze them for 6 hours.

Step 2: Place the fruit in a food processor with the water and agave syrup. Blend it until smooth.

Step 3: Place the sorbet in dessert glasses and garnish them with fresh fruit before serving.
