Cedar Crest Raspberry Sorbet
What it is
This is a frozen dessert made primarily from fruit puree, sugar, and water. It offers a bright, refreshing flavor profile that highlights the natural taste of raspberries. Unlike ice cream, sorbet typically contains no dairy, making it a lighter option. Its smooth texture comes from the fine ice crystals formed during the freezing process. The vibrant pink color is a natural result of the raspberries used.
