Our Blueberry Mojito Sorbetto (fresh, local blueberries, lime & fresh mint) & Mango Banana Sorbetto.
Sorbetti, or Sorbet in English are normally fruit based gelato flavors that should be made only with fresh, seasonal fruit (very ripe & flavorful), water & sugar syrup. If not balanced correctly sorbetti can be your most difficult product to make for a few reasons: high water content (close to 70%), low solids & fibers, no dairies and a cold process that might not melt the sugars (hence we use a sugar syrup) or not allow the thickeners to hydrate properly to help.
Sorbetti are naturally vegan & dairy free, so they are your best bet to cater to that specific market which is expanding every day and to offer an amazingly refreshing option during the warmer months. Sorbetti are normally made with fruit, but you can also make them with dark vegan chocolate or with alternative milks (nuts, coconut..) & nut butters or any other flavor combinations (these require a different process to build your recipes).
That’s why in this training I will show you a bulletproof way to make the perfect, creamy and delicious fruit sorbetto with every fruit or combination of fruits, every single time – given the correct use of the few variables that will be explained.
To make the perfect sorbetto you will need ripe, seasonal fruit, a sugar syrup (a cooked mix of sugars & water), water, thickeners suitable for cold process &, sometimes, vegetable fibers & probiotics to help trapping all this water & improve the structure.
Why are sorbetti so problematic:
Sorbetti are full of water and very low in solids/fibers (sugars are normally your only solids, this is why you normally use more sugar in sorbetto than gelato. Normally around 65-70% of a sorbetto is water. This is also why we love using vegetable fibers to add solids and absorb water).
Sugars play a huge role in sorbetti; they can make or break your recipe if not used correctly. Using a sugar syrup is a must, because this way all the sugars are already perfectly melted and will create a much smoother and cleaner structure. In fact we are working cold here, so if you just add sugars to the mix right before blending they will not melt completely. Also the amount & mix of sugars is imperative to create a successful flavor: you need a mix of sugars and you need to get to the perfect amount. This is why we must consider the sugar already present in the fruit to calculate total sugars.
If the recipe is wrong sorbetti tend to become hard, crumbly & even separate, meaning you will find liquid juice at the bottom of the pan.
This is why I decided that it was time to create an easy to follow step by step program for you to finally get them right, while understanding what are the most common issues and how to fix them.
