Mandarin Sherbet (Deluxe)¶

Mostly mandarin slices and juice, which means a relatively high sugar content, but still reasonably lo-cal because it has only 2% fat.

Small ice crystals (but then it is a sorbet / sherbet), and still immediately scoopable after 1 day in the freezer.

Rating: 😋😋😋😋❄️

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. Put on the lid, freeze for 24h, then spin as usual. Flatten any humps before that.
7. Process with RE-SPIN mode when not creamy enough after the first spin.
