- Blend the mixture until it's smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take about 5-7 minutes for the perfect texture.
- If you’re ready to enjoy right away, scoop out the sorbet for a delightful soft-serve experience!
- For a firmer texture, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container, cover with a sheet of parchment, and freeze for 2-3 hours.
