Description
Silky blackberry bliss sorbet delivers sweet-tart refreshment with minimal ingredients. Summer dessert perfection combines ripe blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice, offering cool satisfaction you’ll savor to the last spoonful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (560 g / 19.75 oz) blackberries
- ½ to 1 cup (100 to 200 g / 3.5 to 7 oz) cane sugar
- 2½ cups (600 ml / 20.3 fl oz) water
- 2 tbsps (30 ml / 1 fl oz) lemon juice
Instructions
- Berry Preparation: Rinse blackberries under cool water, removing any impurities and ensuring pristine fruit quality.
- Blending Phase: Combine blackberries with water and lemon juice in a high-powered blender, processing until achieving a silky, uniform puree.
- Straining Process: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, using a silicone spatula to extract maximum liquid and eliminate seeds.
- Sugar Integration: In a medium saucepan, whisk the strained blackberry juice with granulated sugar, heating over medium-high temperature until reaching a gentle simmer and ensuring complete sugar dissolution.
- Cooling Interval: Transfer the liquid to a shallow container and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, chilling to below 40°F (4°C) to create the ideal base temperature.
- Churning Method: If using an ice cream maker, pour the chilled mixture and churn according to manufacturer’s guidelines; alternatively, freeze in a shallow pan, periodically breaking and blending to maintain a creamy texture.
- Final Setting: Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container, allowing it to set for 30 minutes before serving, ensuring a smooth, refreshing dessert with intense blackberry essence.
Notes
- Strain with Precision: Remove all seeds by pressing the puréed mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to ensure a silky-smooth sorbet texture.
- Sugar Dissolution Technique: Whisk and simmer sugar with blackberry juice until crystals completely dissolve, preventing graininess in the final dessert.
- Churning Alternative: No ice cream maker? Break frozen mixture into chunks and blend to create a creamy consistency that mimics traditional churning.
- Chill Factor: Refrigerate mixture below 40°F to guarantee proper texture and prevent ice crystallization, ensuring a velvety-smooth sorbet experience.
