Sorbet or fruit ice cream: how to use purées
For a sorbet, the purée is mixed with water, sugar and, if needed, a stabiliser. As every fruit contains different levels of sugar and acidity, it is worth adapting the recipe to the flavour. Replacing part of the sugar with dextrose or glucose makes sorbets smoother and easier to scoop. Suitable ingredients are available under Ice cream mixes & stabilisers and Glucose syrup, dextrose & invert sugar.
For a fruit ice cream, combine the purée with a milk or cream base. Tart flavours such as passion fruit, blackcurrant or sour cherry create a lovely contrast with the creamy texture. Purées also work beautifully as a sauce or as a ripple through vanilla ice cream. If you set ice cream in moulds, you will find lolly and bombe moulds under Ice cream moulds.
