Sorbet dessert: what is it?

The name "sorbet" comes from the Turkic word for "drink" and refers to a delicate, frozen dessert, a soft, low-fat fruit ice cream. It's perfectly refreshing in the summer heat and is suitable for those watching their diet and weight, as well as those fasting or abstaining from animal products.

How the dessert came about

Sorbet appeared much earlier than classic ice cream. These ice desserts were first invented in China. Subsequently, sorbet spread to Arab countries, then to Italy. The recipe for this delicacy was simple: honey or sugar syrup was mixed with snow and served; after some time, fruit juices began to be added to the mixture.

Sherbet was also the first dessert in the world to be served frozen. This is why many consider it the "ancestor" of traditional ice cream.

Benefits of sorbet

This sorbet contains only natural berries, fruits, juices, and purees. It's completely fat-free, and the sugar content is minimal. Therefore, this low-calorie dessert is perfect for healthy eaters and those on strict diets.

Since the fruit components are not subjected to heat treatment during the sorbet preparation process, it is possible to preserve the vitamins and all the beneficial properties of these products.

Sorbet is a wonderful refresher in the heat, it lifts your energy and invigorates you.

What is the difference between sorbet, sherbet and ice cream?

Some people use the words sorbet, sherbet, and ice cream interchangeably. Despite the obvious similarities, these desserts have distinct differences. As noted above, sorbet contains only fruit and sugar. If a fruit ice recipe includes 1-2% milk fat, it will be called sherbet. If the milk fat content is much higher, you're most likely dealing with traditional ice cream.
