Berry sorbet is a refreshing dessert that can be adapted for a diabetic-friendly diet. Making it at home allows control over ingredients and sugar content. This guide provides simple steps to prepare a healthy berry sorbet suitable for diabetics.
Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice or water
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons natural sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
- Juice of half a lemon
Preparation Steps
Start by washing the berries thoroughly. If using frozen berries, allow them to thaw slightly for easier blending. In a blender, combine the berries, unsweetened apple juice or water, lemon juice, and optional sweetener. Blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a shallow container. Place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process until the sorbet is firm and evenly frozen, about 2-3 hours.
Serving Tips
Serve the berry sorbet in small bowls or cups. Garnish with fresh berries or a sprig of mint for added flavor. Keep the sorbet refrigerated if not served immediately to maintain its texture.
