FAQs
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?
Frozen blueberries help achieve a smooth, icy texture without diluting the flavor. Using fresh blueberries may result in a softer sorbet, so it’s best to freeze fresh berries first or add ice to the blend.
Is this recipe vegan?
You can make it vegan by substituting honey with maple syrup or agave nectar, which are plant-based sweeteners.
