THE SECRET FOR PERFECT SORBET TEXTURE
The secret to reach the perfect consistency when making sorbet comes down to the sugar content.
Using too little sugar will turn your sorbet all icy, using too much will make it slushy and syrupy.
In the traditional Italian sorbet recipe, you make a water-sugar (in equal parts) based syrup, that gives a rich unique texture to the sorbet.
HOW TO MAKE A LIGHTER SORBET
So, traditional sorbet is really sugary, but there’s a way to make dreamy creamy sorbet without all that unnecessary calories.
Lately, I’ve been trying to cut sugars as much as possible (especially since giving birth to Noah), so I’ve been working hard to find a way to recreate the velvety sorbet texture without using all that sugar.
I won’t lie, it took several experiments and loads of sorbets testing, but I was not going to give up.
Finally, I ditched the sugar altogether, and sweetened things up with Hermesetas Liquid sweetener, and that was it. My vegan mango sorbet turned out velvety, rich and cream with a fraction of the calories!
I know I’m not the only one trying to reduce sugars intake, so if you’re looking for a lighter sorbet to make, I genuinely recommend swapping sugar with Hermesetas Liquid sweetener.
It is heat and freeze stable, and has great testing, meaning it makes a great alternative for cooking, baking and everyday use, and adds zero calories.

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN MANGO SORBET IN 5 MIN
What’s the secret behind this super quick vegan mango sorbet? Frozen mango chunks!
You can find organic chopped mango chunks pretty much in any large superstore these days, or you can chop a couple of mangos and freeze in one layer the night before.
All you have to do is add frozen mango chunks in a powerful food processor. Press high-speed and slowly pour in the liquid.
Keep mixing, until the chunks turn into a velvety luscious mango sorbet, about 3-4 minutes.
I like to eat my vegan mango sorbet straight away -sometimes directly from the food processor.
If you like a more dense consistency, transfer your sorbet into a large freezable container, let it freeze for a couple of hours, and just let it soften a bit before you start scooping.
