Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Blood Orange Champagne Sorbet
  1. Juice the blood oranges until you have about 4 cups of fresh juice. In a medium saucepan, combine blood orange juice, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature for about 1 hour.
  3. Gently stir in 2 cups of very cold champagne (or dry Prosecco) into the cooled mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions, around 20-25 minutes, until it reaches soft-serve consistency.
  5. Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container, spread evenly, and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.
  6. Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier scooping.

Notes

Always use freshly squeezed blood orange juice for the best flavor. Keep champagne very cold for the perfect texture. Allow sorbet to sit at room temperature for best serving results.
