If you are looking for a super refreshing sorbet with a little touch of originality, the apple-glass sorbet is perfect! The apple brings a natural softness, and the verbena adds this subtle herbaceous freshness that changes everything. This sorbet is a bit like a walk in a garden in summer, but in an icy version!
Ingredients :
- 3 green apples (or Granny Smith apples for an acidity)
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (adjust to taste)
- 80 ml of water
- 1 tablespoon of dried verbena (or 1 teaspoon of verbena extract or verbena syrup if you have)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 Small pinch of salt (optional, but it brings out the flavors)
Preparation :
- Prepare the apples
peel and cut the apples into small pieces. The more you cut them, the easier it will be to mix them afterwards. If you want a softer taste, you can also use Golden apples, but I love the acidity of Granny Smith! - Verbena infusion
heats the water in a small saucepan, adds the dried verbena, and lets infuse for about 5 minutes. If you use extract, you can add it directly to the mixture afterwards. Filter the verbena to keep only the infusion. - We mix it all
put the pieces of apples in your blender, adds the infusion of cooled verbena, agave syrup, lemon juice and pinch of salt. Mix until you get a very smooth mixture. If it's still a little too thick, you can add a little water to adjust. - Direction the Ninja Creami
pours the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, being careful not to exceed the Max Fill . And presto, in freezer for 24 hours ! Yes, I know, you have to be patient, but it's really worth it. - The magic stage
after 24 hours of patience, we move on to serious things. Put the container in the Ninja Creami and select the "Sorbet" . In a few minutes, you will have a super cool sorbet! - Respin tip
If you find that the sorbet is still a little too firm, uses the "resin" and adds about 30 ml of liquid (water or a little apple juice) to obtain an even more creamy texture.
My Personal Tip:
This apple-glass sorbet is super refreshing on your own, but if you want to take it to another level, try to serve it with a little chopped mint or pistachios. It gives a little crunch that is just great!
This is a recipe that will bring a real breath of fresh air in your summer. This apple-verbena sorbet is perfect for sunny days, and thanks to the Ninja Creami, you will get this creamy texture each time. This is the kind of dessert that makes you feel good while remaining light. To be tested absolutely!
