Sorbet is a frozen treat that combines the freshness of natural ingredients with a light and refreshing texture. Unlike ice-cream, sorbet does not contain dairy products, making it a perfect option for those looking for a lighter alternative or who are lactose intolerant. Made mainly with fruit, sugar and water, it is characterised by its intense flavour, as well as its ability to enhance the natural flavours of its ingredients.
We can discover the balance of sorbet in the Cherry Ball recipe, a mix that combines the vibrant flavour of cherries with a spectacular presentation. This dessert not only delights with its freshness, but also impresses with its visual elegance. At the heart of this recipe is cherry sorbet and a vanilla-tonka ice cream whose smooth and creamy texture is fundamental to the success of the dessert.
To achieve this perfection we would like to highlight the use of Prosorbet 5 hot/cold natur. This stabiliser is essential to maintain the ideal consistency of the sorbet, allowing it to remain firm and free of ice crystals, regardless of temperature variations. Thanks to its properties, cherry sorbet acquires a silky texture and stability that enhances both the taste and the final presentation of the recipe.
