Pomegranate Sorbet

I adapted this pomegranate sorbet recipe from one of the greats, Elise from Simply Recipes. Her site is such a gift to the internet. Her recipes are FLAWLESS and she has something for everyone. She posted a Champagne Sorbet recipe back in 2007 and I have wanted to try something similar for so long.

She is a genius and realized that boiling the champagne before throwing it in the ice cream maker reduces the alcohol and allows the sorbet to freeze. Mind. Blown. Thank you Elise!

How to Make Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet

This pomegranate sorbet recipe is suuuuuper easy to make. Basically, just throw your ingredients into an ice cream maker, freeze, and enjoy.

  1. Combine champagne, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the pomegranate juice.
  4. Freeze mixture for 2 hours (or refrigerate overnight). It should be completely cooled before moving on to the next step.
  5. Pour the champagne mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow instructions that came with the maker to finish this part of the process.
  6. Once it’s done, scoop it into a freezer-safe container. Freeze 4-6 hours before serving.

I topped our champagne sorbet recipe with some whipped cream and pom arils, and DANG it was good. New fave holiday dessert. And bridal shower dessert. And birthday dessert. You get the picture!

FAQs

What is champagne sorbet made of? ›

In a small sauce pan on med-high heat add the sugar ,cornsyrup and water. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour this into a stainless steel bowl and let it cool completely. When it is cooled add in your wine or champagne,and the juice from one lemon or lime.

What does alcohol do to sorbet? ›

Alcohol doesn't freeze, so it helps prevent sorbet from freezing solid. A little bit goes a long way. 1 to 3 Tablespoons per quart of sorbet is a good rule of thumb. If too much alcohol is added the sorbet will stay mushy.

Do pomegranate seeds float in champagne? ›

The pomegranate seeds sink to the bottom of the glass at first, but then float up onto a wave of carbonation. For a more adult beverage, I like prosecco, or even champagne. TIP: I promise this trick can make even cheap champagne more impressive!

What makes sorbet so creamy? ›

Without fat from dairy or eggs, it's the suspension of sugar within the fruit purée that allows the sorbet to churn into something with a creamy mouthfeel. You need 20-30% sugar in your sorbet, which will come from your fruit plus some added sugar.

Does champagne sorbet contain alcohol? ›

Just because it's frozen champagne doesn't mean it has any less alcohol content, so be forewarned! Pink Champagne sorbet is festive, ridiculously easy to prepare, and a nice refreshing way to end a heavy meal. The only special equipment needed is an ice cream maker.

What is the secret to good sorbet? ›

The Master Ratio

If you don't know the exact sugar content of your fruit, the best thing you can do is play it safe. A sugar concentration between 20% to 30% will generally produce a scoopable, creamy sorbet. * Add less and your sorbet is too icy to scoop; add more and it may never freeze.

What thickens sorbet? ›

Tapioca starch (or corn starch): tapioca starch fis our go-to starch to thicken a sorbet mixture, for the velvety texture it creates. If you do not have tapioca starch, you can use corn starch instead, which is not the same, but it still works.

Why add vodka to sorbet? ›

Since alcohol doesn't freeze, the vodka helps add smoothness to the the crunchy, icy texture of the sorbet. I made mine with Heritage Distilling Company's vodka. Triple distilled with a smooth finish, it's the perfect addition to this refreshing dessert.

Does champagne ice cream have alcohol? ›

English: Magnum Marc de Champagne ice cream, a special 25th anniversary edition of Magnum ice cream: champagne-flavoured ice cream. The ice cream actually contains 0.5% alcohol, and this caused quite a controversy in Finland.

What is sorbet made of? ›

One of the first frozen treats ever developed were ices (or sorbets), which essentially are a mixture of smooth ice, sugar, flavoring and other refreshing ingredients like fruit purees. A sorbet does not contain any dairy products and is more acidic, which results in tart flavors.

What's the difference between sorbet and sherbet? ›

What makes sorbet different from sherbet? Sorbet is strictly fruit juice and sugar while sherbet is fruit juice, sugar, and a bit of milk. That gives sorbet a brighter, more vibrant flavor and sherbet a creamier consistency.

Is sorbet actually healthy? ›

For those who need dairy- or gluten-free dessert options, or who cannot eat eggs or nuts, sorbet may be a suitable option. In theory, a fruit sorbet is healthy, but most commercial varieties are based on sugar rather than fruit.
