Sorbet is a frozen desert made from sweetened water flavored by fruit, wine or liquor, frozen into ice and the scraped so that small ice shards. Although sorbet is usually served as a palate cleanser between courses, it can also be eaten as a dessert. Although many people think that sorbet and sherbet is the same thing, sorbet does not contain dairy ingredients, while sherbet does contain a little cream or milk to give it a richer, creamier texture. The greatest thing about sorbet is it can be frozen, thawed and refrozen over and over, without having an affect on the consistency.
