Do you need to add milk to sorbet?

Thinking about my next batch of sorbet and wondering about adding milk. Is it a common ingredient, or is it best to stick with just fruit and sugar? What’s your experience with milk in sorbet? Does it make a big difference in texture or flavor?

Milk in sorbet isn't super common since sorbet is usually dairy-free, but some people do add a bit for creaminess! It can make the texture smoother, though it takes away from that light, fruity vibe. I'd say stick with just fruit and sugar for a classic, refreshing sorbet! But if you’re feeling adventurous, go for it and see what happens!

Milk isn't typically included in sorbet recipes since sorbet is dairy-free. If you're thinking of adding milk to make it smooth, you don't have to. Sorbet gets its smooth texture from the balance of sugar and water.

But if you want a creamier texture in your sorbet, you can experiment with adding a small amount of fruit puree or a syrup base.

No, milk isn't necessary for sorbet; it’s typically made from fruit, sugar, and water.

Great question! Sorbet doesn’t actually need milk – it’s typically made with fruit, sugar, and water. If you’re looking for a creamier texture, you might consider adding a bit of dairy, but traditionally, sorbet is dairy-free. Enjoy that fruity goodness!
