- 100 g orange juice
- 100 g sugar
(e.g. health food store raw cane sugar organic from € 4.99 (€ 4.99 / kg))* - 50 g dry glucose
(e.g. SWEETme® Glucose Powder 5 kg from € 29.90 (€ 5.98 / kg))* - 6 g inulin
(e.g. EWL Naturprodukte Inulin powder│quality product controlled and bottled in Germany │1100g from the chicory from € 18.95 (€ 17.23 / kg))* - 0,5 g locust bean gum
(e.g. Rapunzel locust bean gum from € 8.99 (€ 138.31 / kg))* - 0.5 g guar gum
(e.g. EWL Naturprodukte guar gum thickening agent binding agent E 412 3.500 cps Carb Guar Gum | controlled and bottled in Germany | 200g from € 6.29 (€ 31.45 / kg))* - 1 pinch of salt
- optional: some additional champagne (see Tips)
Preparation of champagne sorbet
- First put the sugar, glucose, inulin and salt in a pan with half the champagne and half the orange juice. Heat the mixture gently until everything has dissolved. Try to use as little heat as possible.
- Weigh the locust bean gum and guar gum with a fine balance and stir in well (through a sieve if necessary).
- Now remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining champagne and orange juice and mix everything thoroughly.
- Leave the ice cream mixture to cool slightly in the fridge.
Freezing process
Now you can use the ice cream machine and, depending on the model, leave to cool for a few minutes. Switch on the mixer and pour in the sorbet mixture (takes approx. 30 minutes).
Alternatively in Freezer freeze and mix every 30 minutes with a hand mixer (e.g. Bosch MFQ2210P hand mixer from € 44.52 )* mix well (total time about 4 hours). The ice cream will not be as fine in this production as in an ice cream machine.
If the ice cream has been in the freezer for a while or your freezer is particularly cold, simply let it thaw in the fridge for about 20 minutes before eating.

The recipe looks great and I was just about to make it, I'm in the kitchen and I don't know how much water to use 😉
Hello Rob,
Thank you for the tip! 🙂 In the end, I decided on my recipe version without water because I liked it better. I then forgot to adjust the description. It has been corrected.
Kind regards
Hallo 😊, ich habe dieses Sorbet vorgestern zubereitet. Geschmacklich absolut top, leider ist es bei mir extrem weich geblieben. Ich habe es in einer Eismaschine mit Kompressor zubereitet und danach 20 Stunden im TK gekühlt. Die Zutaten habe ich sehr genau abgewogen. Was muss ich ggfs. ändern damit das Sorbet etwas fester wird?
Many greetings
Dagmar
Hallo Dagmar,
vielen Dank für die Rückmeldung. Schön, dass es gut geschmeckt hat. 😀
Dass es sehr weich geblieben ist, kann unterschiedliche Gründe haben. Am wahrscheinlichsten ist es, dass die Glukose eine andere ist, als diejenige, die ich verwende. Hat deine Trockenglukose einen Wert von DE35-40? Hier sind die Zutaten, die ich verwende.
Manchmal wird Dextrose und Glukose synonym verwendet und vom Handel nicht gut ausgezeichnet. Wenn du Dextrose statt Trockenglukose oder einen höheren DE Wert hast, wäre das zu viel Gefrierhemmung und das Eis wäre weich. Es kommt jetzt also darauf an. Wenn du dir sicher bist, dass deine Trockenglukose die Richtige ist, dann reduziere den Zucker. Wenn du dir bei der Trockenglukose unsicher bist, reduziere die Menge dieser Zutat.
Du könntest auch versuchen, den Champagneranteil zu reduzieren, um die Gefrierhemmung durch den Alkohol zu reduzieren. Leider ist es aus der Ferne etwas schwierig, die genaue Ursache zu identifizieren. Aber das sind die Dinge, die ich ausprobieren würde.
Liebe Grüße und melde dich gerne nochmal, wenn du weitere Fragen hast.
