Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • This recipe keeps things minimal letting fresh raspberries do most of the flavor work. Here's exactly what you need.
  • 3 cups raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup warm water as needed
  • A quick note: the original version of this recipe called for raw honey which isn't vegan. This version swaps in maple syrup instead, and the flavor difference is honestly negligible in the final sorbet.

Equipment

  • This recipe keeps the tool list refreshingly short. Here's what to grab:
  • Rimmed baking sheet (for freezing the raspberries in a single layer)
  • Parchment paper (prevents the raspberries from sticking to the sheet)
  • Food processor or heavy-duty blender (for blending the frozen berries smooth)
  • Spatula (for pressing down and scraping the sides as needed)
  • Freezer-safe container (if you want a firmer texture after blending)
  • No ice cream maker, no stovetop cooking, nothing complicated. A food processor genuinely does all the heavy lifting here.

Method
 

  1. Step 1- Freeze the Raspberries
  2. Lay the fresh raspberries out over a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spreading them in a single layer helps them freeze evenly instead of clumping together.
  3. Step 2- Let Them Freeze Solid
  4. Freeze the raspberries until completely solid, which takes at least 2 to 3 hours. Leaving them overnight works just as well if you want to spread this out over two days.
  5. Step 3- Blend Everything Together
  6. Place the frozen raspberries into a food processor or heavy-duty blender, along with the maple syrup and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  7. Step 4- Add Water If Necessary
  8. If the mixture feels too thick to blend smoothly, add a little warm water and press down with a spatula to help things along. You want a smooth, scoopable consistency without adding so much water that it turns watery.
  9. Step 5- Serve or Freeze Further
  10. Eat the sorbet immediately for a softer, more sorbet-like texture, or transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3 to 4 hours until firm. Both textures taste great, so it really comes down to personal preference.
