    Black Grape Sorbet

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on August 20, 2016 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    This easy black grape sorbet is an unexpectedly sweet but savory dairy-free treat. Of course, you can add more sugar, if desired, but the recipe as is really lets the fruit shine. Black grapes can be found during several seasons, but the best varieties for sorbet can be found in spring (Starletta) and summer into September (Midnight Beauty). These are some of the sweetest, most tender varieties and offer better dessert appeal.

    You may note the addition of vodka in this black grape sorbet recipe. The touch of alcohol isn’t intended to overwhelm, but rather it helps to prevent ice crystals from forming when frozen.

      Gorgeous! We typically eat red grapes, but love these black ones, and great idea to keep the skin on. ? Stay cool!
