How to Make Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet Step by Step
Dissolve the sugar in champagne: Combine 1½ cups of brut champagne, 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil until sugar dissolves.
Add pomegranate juice: Once all the sugar dissolves add 1¾ cups of pomegranate juice. Freeze the mixture for 2 hours (or refrigerate overnight). It should be completely cooled before moving on to the next step.
Churn in ice cream maker: Pour the champagne mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow instructions that came with the maker to finish this part of the process. Mine took about an hour to churn.
Once it’s done, scoop it into a freezer-safe container. Freeze 4-6 hours before serving. I topped my champagne sorbet with some whipped cream and pom arils, and DANG it was good.
How to Store Leftovers
Freeze any leftover sorbet for up to 2 weeks. Transfer to an airtight container, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sorbet and freeze.
Serving Suggestions
Champagne sorbet is delicious on its own, but the pomegranate flavor pairs perfectly with chocolate cake or cookies. Try it with my cookie cake or mocha cookies for a dreamy combo!
Is there something you can substitute for corn syrup?
Hi Karen, the corn syrup is necessary to depress the freezing point of the pomegranate juice and create that nice sorbet texture. Other syrups with similar properties include agave nectar, tapioca syrup, honey, or golden syrup.
Can this be made without an icecream maker? What about with a ninja blender?
Ice cream maker for sure!
