Pomegranate Sorbet
I adapted this pomegranate sorbet recipe from one of the greats, Elise from Simply Recipes. Her site is such a gift to the internet. Her recipes are FLAWLESS and she has something for everyone. She posted a Champagne Sorbet recipe back in 2007 and I have wanted to try something similar for so long.
She is a genius and realized that boiling the champagne before throwing it in the ice cream maker reduces the alcohol and allows the sorbet to freeze. Mind. Blown. Thank you Elise!
How to Make Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet
This pomegranate sorbet recipe is suuuuuper easy to make. Basically, just throw your ingredients into an ice cream maker, freeze, and enjoy.
- Combine champagne, sugar, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and stir in the pomegranate juice.
- Freeze mixture for 2 hours (or refrigerate overnight). It should be completely cooled before moving on to the next step.
- Pour the champagne mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow instructions that came with the maker to finish this part of the process.
- Once it’s done, scoop it into a freezer-safe container. Freeze 4-6 hours before serving.
I topped our champagne sorbet recipe with some whipped cream and pom arils, and DANG it was good. New fave holiday dessert. And bridal shower dessert. And birthday dessert. You get the picture!

Is there something you can substitute for corn syrup?
Hi Karen, the corn syrup is necessary to depress the freezing point of the pomegranate juice and create that nice sorbet texture. Other syrups with similar properties include agave nectar, tapioca syrup, honey, or golden syrup.
Can this be made without an icecream maker? What about with a ninja blender?
Ice cream maker for sure!
