We'll show you the advantages and versatile ways of using the Ripple Mason Jar 0.25 L as a dessert bowl.
What is sorbet and how is it different from fruit ice cream?
Sorbet and fruit ice cream are two popular ice creams that are particularly popular in the warmer months. But what's the difference? It's simple: sorbet is a refreshing dessert that consists mainly of fruit puree, water and sugar . This means that it does not contain milk or cream, making it a great option for those who want to enjoy lactose-free. It is characterized by its lighter consistency and pure, intense fruit flavor .
On the other hand, sherbet contains milk or cream in addition to fruit, giving it a creamy texture. This gives the ice cream a softer taste and a milky aroma. Both varieties are delicious, but sorbet is the perfect choice if you are looking for a refreshing and light treat.
