So I want to make some fruit sorbet, found some recipes on youtube but I wonder if I should

Freeze the fruit & Puree the mixture in the vitamix.

Puree the unfrozen fruit mixture in the vitamix and then put into Icecream maker to add air & freeze


Is there a difference between the method. Does the Ice cream maker really add air to the sorbet???

What about using a food processor. That is what I use to make my ice cream. The ice cream maker means too much planning ahead for me and when I want ice cream I want it now.

I rarely make icecream but have a maker that you put the bowl into the freezer. So all the organisation I need is to store the bowl in the freezer and I'm good to go.

From my earlier days as a cook . . . an icecream machine does make much better icecream. It keeps the ice crystals small so you get a smoother result.
