Sorbet
Sorbet is a deliciously smooth, creamy water ice that consists of
sugar, water, and flavoring. Delightfully refreshing, it’s the perfect
dish to cleanse the palate after the rich main course of a meal.
Most commonly made with fresh fruit juice or fruit purée, sorbet
can also be flavored with wine, liquors, tea, or herbs.
Granita
Granita is a blend of sugar, water, and a flavored liquid, such as
fruit juice, coffee, or even melted chocolate. It’s distinguished from
sorbet by a lower sugar content and a coarse, snow-like texture.
Sherbet
A water ice similar to sorbet, sherbet includes additional
ingredients like milk, egg whites, or gelatin. In the United States,
sherbets are typically made with milk and contain approximately
2% milk fat.
