8 How to Make Vitamix Sorbet

Why You Need This Recipe

  • It tastes like a sweet treat but it’s really just fruit. Most frozen fruits are plenty sweet on their own and don’t need added sweetener.
  • You can make any flavor you want! Try raspberry, mango, strawberry, peach, pineapple, or blueberry.
  • It’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free.

Key Ingredients

a Vitamix blender, frozen mango, and dairy-free milk.

Frozen fruit will thicken up this sorbet naturally since it’s already so cold without the need for ice. You can use any type of frozen fruit you like or even freeze any excess fruit you have on hand.

Non-dairy milk helps make the sorbet smooth without making it too thin. I used unsweetened almond milk. If you aren’t on a dairy-free diet, feel free to use regular milk

Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Recipe Steps

Step One

In the base of your Vitamix, combine the fruit with the liquid.

Step Two

Blend until creamy using the tamper to push the frozen fruit into the blade.

Recipe Tips & Substitutions

  • If you are using a fruit that is on the tart side (like raspberries), then you may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of a liquid sweetener like maple syrup to help sweeten it up.
  • If you don’t have dairy-free milk on hand, you can also use fruit juice like orange juice or pineapple juice instead. In a pinch, you can use water, but it will dilute the fruit flavor.
  • This frozen treat is best served just after making it. You can freeze it for up to several hours for a firmer texture, but it will freeze very hard if left in the freezer more than 4 hours. If that happens, you can set it on the countertop for 15 minutes to soften before eating.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use fresh fruit to make sorbet?

If you have a surplus of ripe fruit and need to use it up it’s no problem! Simply cut it up and freeze on it on a parchment lined sheet pan. Once the fruit is completely frozen follow the recipe as directed. You can also bag it up and freeze for later.

Can I combine different types of fruit together?

Of course! Try to pair fruits that go well together like mango-pineapple, strawberry-peach, or mixed berry.

What Vitamix model do you recommend?

All are great, but I have a Vitamix Explorian.

Can I use a food processor to make this homemade sorbet?

Yes, but you will have to stop and scrape down the sides several times until the fruit is fully blended.
