Ingredients

2 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)
1 egg white
1/3 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 cups frozen blended berries

Instructions

Step 1: Begin by placing the frozen berries into a blender. This will form the base of your dessert, providing both flavor and texture.
Step 2: Add lemon juice and powdered sugar to the berries in the blender. Mix at maximum speed until the berries break down and the ingredients start to combine.
Step 3: While the blender is running, gradually pour in the egg white. Continue blending the mixture until it becomes smooth and homogeneous, ensuring the egg white is fully incorporated.
Step 4: Transfer the blended mixture to a container. Cover and place it in the freezer for at least 1 hour to let the dessert set up and chill thoroughly before serving.
Step 5: When ready to serve, garnish the frozen sorbet with a few fresh berries for an extra pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your chilled berry treat!

Tips & Variations

For a vegan version, substitute the egg white with aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) to achieve a similar texture.
Try using a mix of berries like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries for complex flavor.
If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, add a little more powdered sugar to taste before freezing.
Let the sorbet rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to make serving easier.

Storage

Store the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days. To re-serve, let it soften at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before scooping to achieve the best texture.

How to Serve

The image shows two large scoops of dark red berry sorbet with a smooth and slightly icy texture, resting in a white bowl. The sorbet has tiny air holes on the surface and a shiny, wet look, indicating it is fresh and cold. Around the sorbet, there are whole small berries of different colors — deep purple and red — which add contrast. A bit of the red sorbet has melted slightly on the edge of the bowl, blending with the berries. The white bowl sits on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

Frozen berries work best as they give the sorbet its icy texture. If you use fresh berries, add a few ice cubes when blending to achieve a similar consistency.

Is it safe to use raw egg white in this recipe?

Using fresh, pasteurized egg whites is recommended to reduce any risk. Alternatively, you can skip the egg white for a denser sorbet or use aquafaba for a vegan option.
