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)

DIRECTIONS¶

1. Add "wet" ingredients to empty Creami tub.
2. Weigh and mix dry ingredients, easiest by adding to a jar with a secure lid and shaking vigorously.
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.
6. For better results, let the base age in the fridge (covered, lid on), for a few hours or over night. This helps flavor development and gum hydration, especially with unheated bases.
7. Freeze for 24h with lid on, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
8. Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
