First – here are a few tips:

  • When you are making sorbets, you can substitute frozen fruit for fresh; just thaw it slightly before pureeing.
  • These frozen desserts can be stored in the freezer for up o two days; after that, puree them again in the food processor to enjoy an extra day or two of fresh flavour.
  • For an easy preparation, scoop out and freeze the finished ices on a foil-lined baking sheet.
