How to make sorbet in a food processor

Raspberry Dream Sorbet

An easy-to-make homemade sorbet make right in an ordinary food processor. You don't need an ice cream maker or a lot of time, since this comes together in a snap. You can make your simple syrup ahead of time if you like, leaving it at room temperature until you're ready to make sorbet.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups frozen raspberries (one 12-ounce bag)
  • 2 egg whites (I use either Safest Choice pasteurized egg whites or 6 tbsp egg whites from a carton)

Instructions

  1. Put the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until the sugar completely dissolves and the liquid is clear, making a simple syrup. Pour into a glass pitcher or bowl to cool to room temperature. You can expedite the cooling process by putting in the fridge. 

  2. Once the simple syrup has cooled, pour it into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add the frozen raspberries (straight from the freezer) and run the processor for 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed). Add the egg whites and let it run another 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture turns a pale pink color with a luscious texture, scraping the sides and bottoms as needed.

  3. Serve immediately (it will be very soft and quite delicious) or spoon it into a freezer-friendly container (I use a loaf pan), cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
