Title: Sorbet query
Post by: nutty nutritionist on February 07, 2012, 01:03:44 pm: Does anyone have any tips for making sorbet that doesnt go so hard & icy when put in the freezer? I love the texture when its first made in the thermomix, but when i get it out of the freezer a few days later, it is like a big ice block...

Thanks ;)

So far I've found adding liquid glucose helps and also using the butterfly to whip in an egg white - incorporates lots of little bubbles that "soften" the sorbet. At the end of the day, the ultimate solution is just to take it out the feezer half an hour before you need it!

On the rare occasion there is any leftover I put it in ice cube trays (try and get the trays that make big ice blocks)

We have lychee sorbet and watermelon sorbet in the freezers now.
