Raspberry Sorbet Recipe frozen raspberries (and sugar)
So if you have ever wondered how to make raspberry sorbet, this recipe for easy raspberry sorbet will help you! All you need are frozen rapsberries and sugar (or stevia for a healthier option)!
Summer where art thou?
I wish I could say that we are experiencing Summer here in Gran Canaria, but, I would be lying. Truth be said, we´ve had a few nice, even hot days. Unfortunately that only lasts a few days at a time and then we´re back to the cold. The days range from cold to “perhaps it could be warmer today”.
I´m tired of the cold. So over it! I want me some Summer-rrrrrr.
However that didn´t stop me from making this delicious homemade raspberry sorbet *smile*
Homemade is best
This homemade raspberry sorbet is delicious! It´s made with frozen raspberries and sugar.. and a blender.. That´s it! I mean really! If I knew making frozen sorbet was as easy as that I would have started making my own a long time ago.
My blender unfortunately is not the best so I needed to make it in two batches, but, if you have a heavy duty blender like this Kitchen Aid one you don´t have to split the ingredients in two. Perhaps if I´m a good girl and I behave well (what´s the hope of that happening) hubby will buy me one.. just maybe.. because my list of what I want is already very long *smile*.
Ingredients
- 500g frozen raspberries
- 1 cup fine white sugar (or icing sugar)
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
- Blend all the ingredients together in a blender.
- Freeze in a suitable container until it´s time to use.
Notes
For a medium powered blender, like mine, divide the ingredients in half and make it in two batches. Don´t add too much water. Replace the sugar with Stevia, preferably liquid Stevia
Powerful Natural Antioxidant
Let´s look at the health benefits of these powerful red berries. According to Nutrition and You raspberries are rich source of health promoting plant-derived nutrients, minerals, and vitamins that are essential for optimum health. Wow!
Botanically, it is a small shrub belonging to the family Rosaceae, in the genus: Rubus. It grows very well under temperate climates. The berry is native to Europe but now widely cultivated in many temperate regions all over the world.
- Chief producers of raspberries are Poland, United States, Germany, and Chile.
Raspberries are low in calories and saturated fats but are rich source of dietary fiber, and antioxidants.
- 100 g berries hold just 52 calories but provide 6.5 g of fiber (16% of daily recommended intake).
That´s a wrap
So now you know how to make easy raspberry sorbet, at home, ready at your disposal throughout the Summer. You can thank me later *wink*.
A side note: I went shopping with my teenage daughter yesterday. Well actually the whole family went but hubby and Luca (5 years old) basically sat waiting outside the shops on a bench because they were bored! Luca always complains of tummy ache when we go shopping. Then, as soon as we get back into the car he is perfectly fine! Men! You gotta love them *smile*.
I stocked-up on some “must have” t-shirts and bought a really cool statement necklace. I can´t wait to wear it! I don´t know about you guys but I´m loving the Bohemian look that has been brought back this Summer! It´s so pretty! Do you agree?

This looks like the very taste of summer and so unbelievably simple. The stash of frozen raspberries in the freezer are calling me, I expect they’ll be pulverised before they know it!
Johlene Orton says
Haha! Love the way you put it.. I´m kinda feeling sorry for the poor frozen raspberries 😉
DIY Danielle says
Looks lovely! Wonder if I can get my son to back off the raspberries long enough to make it. I’m sure he’d love it frozen as much as he loves them straight from the container.
Johlene Orton says
Haha! That´s so cute! Perhaps it´s better to buy a frozen pack and then you´re safe 🙂
