Easy Sorbet Recipe

This easy sorbet recipe can be made with an ice cream maker! I have really fallen in love with my ice cream maker lately, as you may notice with all of the frozen treat recipes. There is a super fun recipe ready to post on Friday, but lucky you, you get TWO frozen desserts in one week!

I love that this pomegranate sorbet is made with champagne, and I love that it is pink. It’s perfect for the holidays but also perfect for bridal showers or baby showers…RIGHT? Well, really it could be perfect for anything, it’s so tasty and fun.

Pomegranate Sorbet 

I adapted this pomegranate sorbet recipe from one of the greats, Elise from Simply Recipes. Her site is such a gift to the internet. Her recipes are FLAWLESS and she has something for everyone. She posted a Champagne Sorbet recipe back in 2007 and I have wanted to try something similar for so long.

She is a genius and realized that boiling the champagne before throwing it in the ice cream maker reduces the alcohol and allows the sorbet to freeze. Mind. Blown. Thank you Elise!

How to Make Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet

This pomegranate sorbet recipe is suuuuuper easy to make. Basically, just throw your ingredients into an ice cream maker, freeze, and enjoy.

  1. Combine champagne, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the pomegranate juice.
  4. Freeze mixture for 2 hours (or refrigerate overnight). It should be completely cooled before moving on to the next step.
  5. Pour the champagne mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow instructions that came with the maker to finish this part of the process.
  6. Once it’s done, scoop it into a freezer-safe container. Freeze 4-6 hours before serving.

I topped our champagne sorbet recipe with some whipped cream and pom arils, and DANG it was good. New fave holiday dessert. And bridal shower dessert. And birthday dessert. You get the picture!

Equipment

Ingredients 

  • cups brut champagne 341 grams
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200 grams
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 20 grams
  • cups pomegranate juice 397 grams, such as Pom
  • Whipped cream optional, for garnish
  • Fresh pomegranate arils optional, for garnish

Instructions 

  • Heat champagne, sugar, and corn syrup in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring to a rolling boil, making sure all the sugar dissolves.
    1½ cups brut champagne, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • Remove the champagne from the heat and stir in the pomegranate juice. Place in the freezer for 2 hours or in the refrigerator overnight to chill completely.
    1¾ cups pomegranate juice
  • Once cold, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and use according to package instructions. Mine took about an hour to churn.
  • Spoon completed sorbet into a freezer-friendly container and freeze until ready to serve. It's best to freeze 4-6 hours so it firms up enough.
  • Serve with whipped cream and pomegranate arils, if desired.

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?
