Ingredients
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup dry rosé wine, chilled
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk or plain full-fat yogurt
Pinch of salt
Optional: Fresh mint leaves, whole cherries with stem, splash of rosé wine for serving
Instructions
- If using frozen cherries, let them thaw slightly for easier blending.
- In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Warm over medium heat until sugar dissolves completely to form a simple syrup. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- In a blender or food processor, combine pitted cherries, lemon juice, rosé wine, cooled simple syrup, coconut milk or yogurt, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity with more sugar or lemon juice as needed.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer instructions until it reaches a soft-serve texture (about 20–25 minutes).
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover with parchment or plastic wrap, and freeze for 3–4 hours or until firm.
- Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften. Scoop into bowls and garnish with mint, whole cherries, or a splash of rosé if desired.
Notes
Use half cherries and half strawberries or raspberries for a mixed berry version.
For a dairy-free sorbet, use coconut milk; for a creamier version, use full-fat yogurt.
Roast cherries before blending to deepen color and flavor.
Replace wine with cherry juice or water for a non-alcoholic option.
Fold in chopped cherries or toasted coconut for added texture before freezing.
