Homemade Pineapple Sorbet
Sorbet is a great and refreshing dessert; it’s lower in fat than Ice cream and is non-dairy, so it’s perfect for vegetarians and lactose intolerants. In addition, Sorbet is simple to make at home, and you can make it in almost any flavor you wish.
We are using fresh Pineapple in this recipe, but you are welcome to use canned pineapple chunks. You can also add this Sorbet to your favorite adult beverage, which originates from Italy; it’s called Sgroppino. Italian aristocrats would serve Sgroppino in between meal courses to cleanse the pallet. But you can also use Sorbet minus the alcohol as a pallet cleanser.
However, you might be wondering what the difference is between Sorbet versus Sherbert? Sherbert is a Dairy dessert made with frozen fruit, and therefore it is not vegan and has more fat. So here is our fantastic Pineapple Sorbet
