Ingredients to Gather

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up your Raspberry Sherbet:

The Steps to Sweet Success

Ready to dive into the deliciousness? Here’s how to make your Raspberry Sherbet:

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool.
If you’re using fresh raspberries, rinse and pat them dry. Then, toss them in a blender with the cooled syrup, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds, collecting the vibrant puree in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it’s soft and fluffy, then gently fold in the raspberry puree.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for about 4-6 hours, or until it’s firm.
When you’re ready to serve, let the sherbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. Enjoy the burst of raspberry goodness!
