Sorbets - what fruits/flavours have you tried

[faffa_70]

Well I just don't know if I am going to be able to keep up with the ice now that is the thing. He has just cleaned out the milk ice to make strawberry soft serve

My taste buds are 'tasting'. That sounds lovely.

Just made a mango and lime at a demo - sooo creamy and yum! 

[faffa_70]

IMHO anything with mango in it will be divine lol

can i just say - this makes the most *awesome* after-school snack. loving our thermomix 'ice-cream'!
i have been putting in bananas to pair with strawberries/peaches/mangoes in the freezer. at the moment i find adding a kiwifruit gives it a nice injection of sweetness. and if i have any on hand ,a bit of juice or rice milk to give it a smoother txture.
so yummy and healthy i can hardly believe it!

My favourite is mandarin sorbet! If they are in season try it! Very good! I add a teaspoon of rum too!

When I have a big amount of lemons, I juice them in Thermie and freeze in ice cubes to use throughout the year.

By accident I have found the juice alone makes great lemon sorbet. 

I only use 90g lemon juice ice cubes, 8 mint leaves milled with sugar(optional), 120-150g sugar and 700g water ice cubes.  I find I do have to add water to this mix to get it moving.

Now, this may sound a bit weird, but it was not my idea.  I like it though - use the lower end of the sugar, add a little lemon zest and, for that amount, about 30g of olive oil.

It is one of my favourites.  The olive oil gives a bit of smoothness to it.

Am curious about the olive oil Thermomixer - will have to try. Just made sorbet with frozen pineapple and some coconut milk - I'm thinking it needs to be served in a martini glass with white rum pour over and could pass as a Pina Colada!!! Too Yummy!! Oh!! It really feels like holiday season - can't wait for school to finish - the countdown is on!!

Do you add the egg white as well as the olive oil or the oil instead of the egg white?

I just use it without egg white - originally the recipe was a granita.

Just had chocolate sorbet at the Christmas demo-very nice. Probably on tonights menu.

[Thermomixer]

I know you can't give the recipe, but was it gritty?  Did the chocolate get mixed with some cream?

i didnt like the chocolate sorbet  much....they mixed the cocoa powder in with some glucose syrup and heated it up for a few minutes first...i ddnt find it creamy enough,  there was some cocounut cream in there too, but i found it a bit icy
