  • Fork (Optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Fresh or Frozen Blueberries (about 600g)
  • 1/2 cup Sweetener (Honey, Maple Syrup, or Agave)(120ml) (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (30ml)
  • 1/4 cup Water (60ml) (adjust for desired consistency)
  • Fresh Mint or Other Herbs (optional for garnish) – a few leaves (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Blend the Blueberries
    In a blender or food processor, combine 4 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave), and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Adjust Consistency
    Gradually add 1/4 cup of water to the mixture, blending as you go, until you reach your desired consistency. Add more water if you prefer a thinner sorbet.

    Once the sorbet is frozen, scoop it into bowls or cones. Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves or additional blueberries for a decorative touch. Enjoy your refreshing blueberry sorbet!

Notes

  1. Sweetener Adjustments:
    • The sweetness of the sorbet depends on the ripeness of the blueberries. If your blueberries are very sweet, you may want to reduce the amount of sweetener.
  2. Texture Tip:
    • If you prefer a creamier sorbet, you can add a small amount of coconut milk or almond milk to the mixture. This will give the sorbet a richer texture and slightly creamy consistency.
  3. Freezing Time:
    • Be sure to allow enough freezing time (4-6 hours), but for the smoothest texture, scrape the mixture every 30 minutes during the first few hours of freezing to break up ice crystals.
  4. Storage:
    • Store the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Be aware that it may harden a bit more after freezing, so let it sit out for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
  5. Variations:
    • Feel free to experiment with different fruit combinations, like adding strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a mixed-berry sorbet. Just adjust the quantities accordingly.
  6. Serving Ideas:
    • Serve the sorbet in chilled bowls or glasses for an extra refreshing experience. You can also garnish it with fresh berries, mint leaves, or even a drizzle of honey for a beautiful finish.
By following these tips and adjustments, you’ll be able to create a perfect blueberry sorbet that’s tailored to your taste and texture preferences!
