Grapple Sorbet (Deluxe)¶

This sorbet blends clear apple juice and white grape juice into a light, refreshing dessert with a smooth texture and a clean finish. It’s simple, bright, and easy to enjoy — perfect as a palate cleanser or a cool treat on warm days.

🌿 Vegan & Dairy-free

This is an experiment to get to a (possibly) translucent ice cream, using just “clear” ingredients.

You can replace the water — used to improve the macros (less sugar) — with juice, but then you have to compensate by lowering VG and/or the sweetener.

Spin on “Sorbet”, scrape down, and re-mix.

3. Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
4. Let blender run until thickeners are properly hydrated, up to 1-2 min. Or blend again after waiting that time.
5. Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
