Whether you want to gobble up a blackcurrant sorbet after a bracing coastal walk, or thinking of making your own lemon sorbet for pudding this evening, we know you must be wondering, are they suitable for those of us on a plant-based diet?

What is sorbet

Sorbet is the name for a frozen dessert consisting simply of natural flavourings like chunks of fresh fruit, fruit juice, maybe even cacao or whatever you fancy, really. 

Is sorbet vegan?

Generally, yes, sorbet is vegan-friendly due to its plant-based ingredients. But, this isn’t always the case.
