Meaning of "sorbet" ("sorbete"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
Sorbet is a cold, sweet dessert that’s made by freezing fruit juice (or fruit puree) with water and sugar. It’s like ice cream’s fruity cousin, but it doesn’t usually have milk or cream. Sorbet is smooth, icy, and full of fruit flavor, and people often eat it on hot days to cool down or between courses at fancy meals to refresh their mouths.

Sorbet usually has no milk or cream in it, so even people who can’t eat dairy can happily freeze their tongues with it.
