Ingredients
-
400 g fresh or frozen fruit (strawberries, mango, raspberries, or mixed berries)
-
100 g sugar (adjust depending on fruit sweetness)
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
50 g water
-
Optional: fresh mint or a splash of liqueur for flavor
Instructions
1. Prepare the Fruit
If using fresh fruit, wash, peel, and chop into small pieces. If using frozen fruit, slightly thaw for easier blending.
2. Make the Simple Syrup
Place water and sugar in the Thermomix bowl. Heat 3 minutes, 100°C, speed 2 until sugar dissolves. Let cool slightly.
3. Blend the Fruit
Add fruit and lemon juice to the Thermomix bowl. Blend 30–60 seconds, speed 9, until smooth and creamy. Use the spatula to push down any chunks if needed.
4. Freeze
Pour the sorbet mixture into a shallow container. Freeze for at least 3–4 hours or until firm. For a smoother texture, stir every 30–60 minutes during the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals.
5. Serve
Scoop into bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh mint, fruit slices, or a drizzle of berry coulis.
