There’s no denying that I like frozen treats. Ice cream, sorbet, yogurt, gelato … I do not discriminate. I like it all. But lately, I’ve kept my eyes peeled for Grapefruit Sorbet Recipe. It’s popped up here and there, and every time it does I order it. It’s such a clean, and refreshing treat–perkiness on a spoon if you ask me. Last year I made a Grapefruit and Lime Sorbet which is tasty too but the simplicity of just the grapefruit is just as nice.
Sorbet is easy enough to make, and requires very little in the way of ingredients. Mix up a base in no time, chill for a while in the fridge, and churn away. Then a few hours in the freezer will help it firm up nicely. The flavors of this sorbet are so pure, intense even, you really don’t need much to satisfy.
Enjoy!

Mmmm i love grapefruit! Makes sense it would be stellar in sorbet form. I haven’t tried it but have been dying to try watermelon and basil sorbet…yum!
This looks incredibly refreshing. I’ve just recently started toying around with grapefruit after years of claiming that I didn’t like it. This looks like the perfect way to put them to use.
Looks so refreshing! Just what I need now!
Oh so refreshing! Looks lovely!
I made the blueberry banana one in Perfect Scoop right after our chat at Wilton. So easy! my kids love sorbet….I haven’t made one since, not sure what I am waiting for!
This looks so refreshing!
I could eat grapefruit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Now you’ve given it to me for dessert!! LOL 🙂
This looks really refreshing! I bought a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker (found one for a huge deal!) on Friday and have already made a batch of Oreo Ice Cream. I’m going to be hitting the food store for some more grapefruit to make this sorbet!! 🙂 Thanks.
Amy, I could have used a scoop of this Grapefruit Sorbet today! So hot outside. Love the simplicity of sorbets in the summertime.
you are singing my song, girl!
You know, I am not a grapefruit fan when it is just plain old grapefruit, but I LOVE it in frozen treats…so bright and summery 🙂
This is just beautiful Amy… and so simple! I love how you take something I would consider difficult and make it easy! 🙂
SO refreshing! I want a scoop!
This looks so refreshing! Would definitely be perfect today!
My son loves grapefruit. I’m thinking I might win “Favorite Mom” award if I prepare this for him.
I don’t think I’ve told you yet, but I love your new look here.
I made some sorbet a couple of weeks ago; it is just to easy and too good to not have a ready supply at all times. I love grapefruit; I see this in my future.
This looks wonderful. I love the tangy nature of grapefruit and the little flecks of grapefruit in there!
Wow!! It looks very refreshing!! It’s perfect after a beach day!!
This sounds so refreshing, Amy. I love the ease of sorbet. My two favorite combinations lately are Strawberry & Lime and Watermelon Mojito (watermelon, lime, mint, rum).
I really need to get an ice cream maker. This looks and sounds amazing!
This looks delicious. I am overdue on pulling out the ice cream machine. I always love the flavor of grapefruit, but finding recipes that use it is unusual. So thank you!
