Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 cups pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. Combine Juices and Sugar: In a large non-reactive bowl, mix the pomegranate juice, fresh lime juice, and sugar thoroughly to prepare the sorbet base.
  2. Dissolve the Sugar: Whisk the mixture well to help dissolve the sugar completely; heating the bowl in the microwave for 10-15 seconds can speed up this process if needed.
  3. Churn the Sorbet: Pour the juice mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to your machine’s specific instructions until the sorbet achieves a smooth, scoopable texture.
  4. Freeze to Set: Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up fully, though it can be stored frozen for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best bright flavor.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
  • If the sorbet is too firm after freezing, let it thaw for 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
  • This sorbet is naturally dairy-free and vegan.
