Bright, light and fresh-tasting a sorbet may make you think of summer, but even in the colder winter months it can still be a perfect dessert or treat option for your family. Containing no dairy, sorbets are a dense and flavor-packed option that can be served in the winter and summer months.

However, you may find that many store bought sorbets will have a lot of added sugar, even if they have significantly less sugar than Ice Cream. But did you know that you can easily make a no-added sugar sorbet at home with the aid of an ice cream maker?

Our simple and easy recipe takes the much-loved flavor of citrus to create a bright and mouthwatering sorbet that your whole family will enjoy. By using zero-calorie Stevia instead of sugar to sweeten up the juice from clementine oranges, we have eliminated all of the added sugar and some of the calories from this syrupy treat.

Try it our recipe at home this weekend and let us know what your family thinks. Get the full recipe below.
