Fat-free ices relatively low in calories and may be flavored with fruits, fruit juices, or pectins.
Originally hailing from Turkey as a refreshing chilled beverage (its name drawing roots from the same origin as sherbet), sorbet has evolved into a delightful form of soft water ice. Often enriched with the essence of fruits or the infusion of liqueurs, it occasionally incorporates whisked egg white for added texture. Traditionally, a sorbet would grace formal dinners as a palate cleanser before the main course, but in modern times, it has become a beloved component of informal meals, finding its place within the realm of desserts. It harmoniously accompanies diced fruit or fruit salad, intertwining flavors and textures. Due to its soft consistency, sorbets eschew molding and instead find their presentation in elegant goblets or glasses.
