- Why did it get hard in the freezer?
- Sorbet has less fat and more water than ice cream, so it freezes harder. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.
White chocolate sorbet
Sorbet is usually made from fruit, dairy-free. But how can you make sorbet from chocolate? By using the cocoa butter in the chocolate as the fat instead of cream, and diluting it with water-based syrup. The result is a surprisingly light, pure chocolate tasting dessert that isn't as filling as ice cream.
