Hello, everyone! It’s Kreamy Vegan. Are you having a great day? It was a long weekend in Norway, so I’m having a great weekend. I spent lots of time in nature with my family in Horten, Norway. We foraged some herbs in the forest and cooked them for dinner. They are so delicious and healthy! 🌿
What are some foods that you try to eat more of because of their health benefits? Interestingly enough, it’s the raspberries for me. I enjoy eating lots of healthy food because I genuinely enjoy the lovely taste of them. But raspberries on their own can be a little blended for me. On top of that, I don’t really like their seeds. They are too small to take out when I’m eating them but too big to feel them in my mouth. So what do I do? Raspberries, like other berries, are one of the most nutrient-dense fruits in the world. To eat more raspberries while enjoying them, I love making raspberry sorbet!
Try this super refreshing raspberry sorbet recipe. With some lemon juice, this raspberry sorbet has the best fresh taste ever. It is one of the best ways to eat more raspberries, and I hope you get to eat more raspberries too. What’s more, once you have the raspberry sorbet, you can make raspberry sorbet float too. The recipe is included below.
Then let’s get started!
Homemade raspberry sorbet is the best way to eat more berries in the summer!
Introduction to Raspberry Sorbet Recipe
The Best Fruit Sorbet
Sorbet, with its refreshing texture and vibrant flavors, is the best dessert during the summertime. (But you can eat it any time of the year, of course, like me. 😉)
Fruit sorbets can be made as easily as freezing whole fruits and processing them in a blender or an ice cream maker like my Ninja Creami ice cream machine. But there are some ways to upgrade your fruit sorbet!
Capturing the essence of ripe fruits and enhancing their flavors is the key to making the best fruit sorbet.

Raspberry Sorbet
Craving something cold and fruity? This raspberry sorbet might be the one for you.
Raspberry sorbet is so special with its intense raspberry flavor and ruby-red colors. The intense fruity and tangy flavors and the vibrant, ruby-red colors make them a great summer dessert. Plus, these colors and tastes mean that it is packed with natural antioxidants and nutrients. So let’s get into making this natural frozen treat today!
To make the luxuriously smooth and creamy raspberry sorbet, you need a blender and a Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker. Let me tell you a little bit about the machine.
Here’s my Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker in my kitchen!
Equipment Needed: Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker Review
I got my Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker about a year ago, and needless to say, I use it often and love it!

Benefits of Homemade Raspberry Sorbet
1. Nutritional Benefits of Raspberries
As I explained above, raspberries offer many nutritional values. We won’t cook or add sugar to the raspberry sorbet recipe, which will preserve most of the nutritional benefits of the raspberries. Here are some health benefits of raspberries you may reap.
- Great for managing weight for low-calorie and high-fiber
- Antioxidant powerhouse
- Cancer protection
- Healthy skin
2. Low-Calorie, High-Fiber Dessert
Raspberries are low in calories and high in fiber. There are only 53 kcal per 100g (3.5 oz). And there are 7 grams of fiber in 100 grams of raspberries! Wow! That means it’s a great ingredient for weight management.
Also, one of the best things about making sorbet at home is that you can adjust the sugar content. And in all my recipes, I almost never use sugar.

3. Vegan and Dairy-Free
Sorbet is naturally vegan and dairy-free, whereas sherbets can contain some dairy.
So if you are vegan, lactose-intolerant, or health-conscious, this raspberry sorbet is the perfect dessert for you!
Tips for Making Raspberry Sorbet
1. Remove Raspberry Seeds for a Perfect Puree
The very first step to making raspberry sorbet is to craft a raspberry purée. This is a crucial part of achieving the sorbet’s smooth and luscious texture. Here are two main reasons why I recommend taking the seeds out of the raspberries:
- Smooth Texture
Take the seeds out using a strainer from the puree to make a puree with a silky smooth consistence. Those little raspberry seeds can feel gritty on your tongue. Taking out the seeds can make every spoon of raspberry sorbet velvety and melt-in-your-mouth.
- Concentrated Raspberry Flavor
Seeds usually have their own flavor, including a slight bitterness. When you make raspberry sorbet with the raspberry seeds blended together, you might be able to taste something different from your regualr raspberry flavor. That’s because we don’t eat ground raspberry seeds when we have raspberries.
So, if you want the essence of sweet and tart flavors of the raspberries, let’s remove the seeds.
2. How to Store Raspberries
Raspberries are very soft and can be mushy with only a slight pressure. They also can go bad quickly, so wash them right before you are about to eat them. It’s best to store the raspberries for 3–4 days.
3. Personalize with Other Toppings
Have fun with your raspberry sorbet with lots of other toppings of your choice! With raspberry sorbet, I love putting more fresh raspberries on top or other fresh berries, such as blueberries and blackberries. If you want to be fancier, put some edible flowers on top.

Product Recommendation for Raspberry Sorbet
1. Date Syrup
🌟 My Pick 🌟
Organic Date Syrup 1 ingredient 100% Dates | D’Vash Organics | 16.6 oz Squeeze Bottle
I love this 100% organic date syrup for its nutrient value, 25% less sugar than honey, and gourmet taste!
I opted for date syrup in this raspberry sorbet instead of using sugar. Date syrup has a darker color, which goes well with the dark red raspberry sorbet, and it enhances the raspberry flavor while sweetening it with natural sugar. Date syrup uses whole dates with water, so it contains lots of other nutrients and some fiber. Try this to choose a healthier alternative to sugar.
A raspberry sorbet float is one fancy and fun way to drink your soda!
2. Sparkling Soda for Sorbet Float
🌟 My Pick 🌟
Betty Buzz Premium Sparkling Soda Citrus Variety Pack
Have you made sorbet floats? They are my favorite way to have sorbet! And this dark, ruby-red raspberry sorbet would make a gorgeous sorbet float. You can put some gourmet soda in a champagne or a wine glass first, then put a scoop of sorbet on top. You can decorate it with more berries, fruits, or mint leaves to make it even fancier.
Make a gorgeous sorbet float with this premium sparkling soda with a citrus kick! Betty Buzz has Sparkling Soda with a citrus variety pack of 12, including sparkling grapefruit, lemon-lime, and club soda. 🍋 Delicious.

Summary of Raspberry Sorbet Recipe
I hope you enjoyed this raspberry sorbet recipe! In the summer in Norway, I love picking raspberries. There are some wild raspberry bushes around, and people like to make jam with it or put them on waffles and cakes here. Those are also great ways to eat your raspberries, but raspberry sorbet is one of my favorite ways to eat more raspberries!
