Summer Black Doris Plum Sorbet

One ingredient is all it takes to make this sorbet. Only Wattie’s dark and juicy Black Doris Plums provide the tart but sweet and amazingly intense flavour. Perfect by itself − or for something more decadent, try serving with a slice of rich chocolate brownie.

  • Serves 6
  • Prep Time
  • 850 g can Wattie’s Black Doris Plums
  1. Drain Wattie’s Black Doris Plums and reserve the syrup. Remove the stones from the plums and place the plums and syrup in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Pour plum pulp into a low sided tray. Cover and place in the freezer. Freeze until the mixture is frozen. Freezing time will depend on depth of tray.
  3. Scoop the frozen mixture back into the food processor and blend until smooth. Pour sorbet into a deep container (this will allow it to be scooped when frozen). Cover and freeze again until firm (approx. 6-8 hours). Scoop into individual serving dishes or serve this with a rich chocolate cake or chocolate brownie.

Smooth Tip

Re-blending the sorbet after the initial freezing time gives the sorbet a smoother and lighter texture.

Made With

Black Doris Plums in Syrup

Generations of Kiwis have loved Black Doris Plums. Wattie’s makes sure this continues, picking only the finest plums from Hawke’s Bay orchards.

Easiest dessert ever and my grandchildren loved it. We had it with fresh water melon and rock melon chunks and it was a huge success. The children ( 6 & 8 yr old) asked for it again this week. I am going to try it with other fruit.
