Just Fruit (Deluxe)¶
Sorbet mostly from fresh / frozen fruit, with minimal additions to make it processable (soft, scoopable).
🌿 Vegan & Dairy-free
Note that strawberries, with their relatively low sugar content, are well suited for this. So are many types of melon. With pineapple, the tub has about 440kcal and a small serving 16g net carbs.
You can reduce the amount of fruit and replace it by water to get better macros (lower carbs / sugar). That needs compensation for the removed sugar though, replace with trehalose (same amount as the removed fruit sugar, but it has a way lower GI), alcohol 40 vol% (half the amount of ‘lost’ sugar), or more sugar alcohols (also half the sugar amount).
Example: Just 300g strawberries and 5g more sugar alcohols has 231 kcal and 30g net carbs.
Spin on “Sorbet”, scrape down, and respin. This one literally ‘grew on me’ — look at the middle picture, the tub is almost overflowing.
Rating: 😋🍓🍓🍓🍨 (very smooth, more like ice cream than a sorbet)

- Weigh and mix dry ingredients, easiest by adding to a jar with a secure lid and shaking vigorously.
- Pour into the tub and QUICKLY use an immersion blender on full speed to homogenize everything.
- Let blender run until thickeners are properly hydrated, up to 1-2 min. Or blend again after waiting that time.
- Add remaining ingredients (to the MAX line) and stir with a spoon.
- Put on the lid, freeze for 24h, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
- Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
