Cranberry Sorbet

By Dawn Hall, author of the Busy People’s Cookbook Series

Cranberry Sorbet
You are going to love how super easy this is to make compared to the painstakingly long process of traditional sorbets. It is just the right blend of tartness and sweetness that makes this very refreshing after a heavy meal.

1 cup whole cranberries, frozen
2 1/2 cups ice cubes
1 teaspoon sugar-free raspberry drink mix
1 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon Splenda granular
1/4 cup fat-free dessert whipped topping

  • Place the cranberries, ice cubes, raspberry drink mix, water, Splenda, and whipped topping in a blender.
  • Cover and process on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the blender off occasionally and push the ice cubes down with a long handled spatula. Keep mixing until the sorbet has a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Immediately spoon into seven individual dessert cups. If you do not have dessert cups, tall, stemmed glasses filled with sorbet would make the end of any holiday meal extraordinary.
