This blood orange sorbet is a true ray of sunshine, and the best part? The whipped egg whites give it an ultra-light and airy texture. The blood orange provides a beautiful color and a tangy flavor, while the egg whites make this sorbet even more melt-in-your-mouth. It's a truly dreamy dessert!
Ingredients :
- 300 ml of fresh blood orange juice (about 3-4 blood oranges)
- 3 tablespoons of agave syrup (or adjust to your taste)
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 80 ml of water
- 1 small pinch of salt (optional)
Preparation :
- Prepare the blood orange juice
. Squeeze the blood oranges to obtain approximately 300 ml of juice. If you want an even more tangy touch, add a tablespoon of lemon juice. - Whisk the egg whites.
In a bowl, whisk the two egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. They should be firm, but not too dry. This will give the sorbet a light and airy texture – it's fantastic! - Mix everything together (without the egg whites for now).
In a blender, combine the blood orange juice, water, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt (optional). Blend well until everything is thoroughly combined. - Fold in the beaten egg whites.
Once the juice mixture is ready, gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Do this with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whites so they retain their lightness. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the MAX FILL . Then place in the freezer for 24 hours . - The long-awaited moment!
After 24 hours of freezing, place the container in the Ninja Creami and use the "Sorbet" . You'll see, the whipped egg whites will make the sorbet's texture even lighter and smoother. - Respin Tip:
If the sorbet is a little too firm, use the "Respin" and, if necessary, add about 30 ml of liquid (such as orange juice) to smooth the texture even more.
My Personal Tip:
This blood orange sorbet is absolutely delicious on its own, but for an even more indulgent touch, serve it with a few chopped pistachios or even a small almond tuile for a bit of crunch. If you want to add a touch of freshness, a few mint leaves will do the trick!
Here's a light and fruity sorbet recipe that's sure to impress! With whipped egg whites, you get a smooth and airy texture that makes this blood orange sorbet even more irresistible. It's the perfect dessert to cool down in style, and thanks to Ninja Creami, you get the perfect texture every time.
