Easy frozen grape sorbet made in a food processor with simple ingredients like frozen grapes, lemon juice, and Greek yogurt. A refreshing summer dessert or spritz base that’s naturally sweet, creamy, and perfect for hot weather.
Wash and thoroughly dry the grapes. Freeze them on a sheet pan until completely solid, about 4 hours or overnight.
Add the frozen grapes to a food processor along with the Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, lemon juice, and salt.
Blend until thick and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. If using xanthan gum, sprinkle it in while blending to help create a smoother, more scoopable consistency.
Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours for a firmer sorbet. It may need to sit for a few minutes after refreezing to make scooping easier. I find it's best made and served immediately.
Scoop into coupe glasses or small bowls and garnish with fresh grapes, lemon zest, or mint if desired.
To Make A Grape Sorbet Spritz
Turn this sorbet into an easy summer cocktail by scooping the sorbet into a coupe glass and topping it with chilled prosecco or crisp white wine. Add in a small amount of St Germain or elderflower liqueur for an added floral note.
Notes
Green grapes create a brighter, tangier flavor while red grapes taste sweeter and more jammy.
Freeze your serving glasses beforehand for an extra frosty presentation.
A splash of elderflower liqueur or limoncello pairs beautifully with the spritz version.
For a mocktail option, top with sparkling water or lemon soda instead.
