...until the purée begins to thicken a little.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Add this to the mixture while churning.

Stage 8 - 10 min.

Leave to churn until the sorbet texture is smooth and creamy.

Remarks

You will see how the trick of incorporating a beaten egg white lightens the sorbet in both senses: not only in texture, but also in colour, as it changes from red to pink. This does not affect the flavour, and the lighter sorbet will also keep without turning hard. Professional makers inject air into their ice creams to achieve the same effect.

Keeping

Several days in the freezer.
