Equipment
- Saucepan
You'll need a sturdy saucepan for creating the syrup and blending in the starch. A non-stick option can make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.

An ice cream maker is key to achieving the perfect texture for your sorbet. Freeze the bowl ahead of time for the best results.

Faq
- Why is my sorbet grainy?
Graininess typically results from undissolved sugar. Ensure you heat the sugar-water mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved before adding other ingredients.
- Do I need an ice cream maker?
An ice cream maker provides the best texture, but you can also freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes until it firms up.
- How can I enhance the raspberry flavor?
Try adding a splash of raspberry liqueur or increasing the amount of raspberry puree for a more intense flavor.
- How do I prevent ice crystals from forming?
Make sure the mixture is well-chilled before churning and store your sorbet in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals.
- Can I use different fruits?
Absolutely! Feel free to swap raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or a mix of your favorite berries.
- What's the best way to serve the sorbet?
Serve your sorbet in chilled bowls or glasses, and consider adding a sprig of mint or a fresh berry garnish for a touch of elegance.
