Black Grape and Sparkling Wine Sorbet

By 78 Comments

Could this weekend be your last hurrah to make and enjoy a frozen treat? I wouldn’t leave anything to chance when it comes to dessert! I can honestly proclaim that Black Grape and Sparkling Wine Sorbet is one of the most delicious treats I’ve enjoyed this summer.

For a frozen delight, try this recipe for Black Grape & Sparkling Wine Sorbet -- so easy to make and perfect for the weekend!

It took me three attempts to get this recipe for Black Grape and Sparkling Wine sorbet just right. After each attempt – and failure – I wanted it even more!

Since black grapes are so flavorful and richly colorful, it stands to reason that they’d be a top choice for sorbet. I couldn’t resist the urge to add sparkling wine to this recipe (drinking a bit along the way), and I’m sure if you try it you’ll be happy with the flavor.

Whip up a batch of Black Grape and Sparkling Wine Sorbet -- it's so easy to make!

My first two tries at this sorbet didn’t freeze up properly and I was left with a soupy (although delicious) mixture. My emotions kept my husband laughing: I was so gleeful over the flavor, yet bummed that I couldn’t seem to make liquid freeze.

Toast to Black Grape & Sparkling Wine Sorbet. It's a sweet treat that is super easy to make!

Another good thing to come out of this recipe were peanut butter and jelly smoothies. Sounds strange, but I saved the solid pieces left behind after straining the grapes and combined them with peanut butter powder, plain Greek yogurt, and some flax seeds. So good!

You'll love the flavor of Black Grape & Sparkling Wine Sorbet -- and that fact that it's so easy to make!

I can’t guarantee that you could make this sorbet without an ice cream maker, but I’m leaning toward, yeah, you probably could. You’d likely need to freeze the mixture for a few hours, scrape it up, freeze it again, scrape, and freeze (or however many rounds of freezing-scraping-freezing it takes to get the consistency you want).

Summer isn’t over yet, and since you can probably still get your hands on black seedless grapes, I highly recommend making Black Grape and Sparkling Wine Sorbet. I’m so glad I persisted until I got it right – so worth the wait!

Dig in! Black Grape & Sparkling Wine Sorbet is a refreshing and flavorful dessert!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups black seedless grapes
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup sparkling wine

Instructions

  1. Be sure to have a pre-chilled ice cream maker bowl ready. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper so it hangs over the edges. Set aside.
  2. Combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Put the mixture in the refrigerator until cool.
  3. Add the grapes to a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain the grapes through a fine mesh sieve (I saved the solid pieces and used them in a smoothie).
  4. Combine the grape juice, sugar water, and sparkling wine. Sitr to combine. Add the mixture to the chilled ice cream maker bowl. Cover and freeze for about an hour (or according to the maker’s recommendation).
  5. Process in your ice cream maker for 10-15 minutes. Stir and break up any frozen chunks, and transfer the mixture to the lined loaf pan.
  6. Freeze for several hours or even overnight, scoop and serve.

Notes

Although I haven't tried, I think you could make this sorbet without an ice cream maker. Freeze, scrape the mixture, then freeze and scrape again until you reach your desired consistency.

    How fun! The last thing I had that was spiked was wine jelly that my MIL makes, it was delicious! I bet this is delicious too, and you know it's going to be hot in AZ for another two months so I've got time to try this out!

      Thanks, Crystal! I haven't tried it w/out an ice cream maker, but I'm pretty sure it would work without one, like I mention!

    This recipe looks amazing! I have such a sweet tooth and sorbet is one of my favorites. I'm glad you finally got the consistency down. I'm sure the few 'failed' attempts were still delicious! :) Thanks for sharing

    This looks delicious! I love the interesting flavor combination. I know the trend in ice cream right now is to make "no churn" ice cream. Call me old fashioned, but I love to get out my ice cream freezer and watch as my liquid turns into frozen goodness.

    Oh my WORD, this sounds delightful! It's going to feel like the summer in Texas for at least another month, so I'm going to get some great mileage out of this recipe... even though we're supposed to be thinking about fall things now. ;) So happy you perfected this, and I cannot wait to try it!

      Thanks so much, Erin! I know -- it's so hard to be in Phoenix this time of year and to get into all things fall (although I'm eager)!
