Critical Success Points

  • Mixing the strawberries with honey (determines the sorbet's softness).
  • Cooking the custard to 80 °C without boiling.
  • Complete cooling of the custard before freezing (prevents thermal shock).
  • Blend the frozen blocks quickly to achieve a smooth texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the saucepan with care: the mixture reaches 80‑90 °C.
  • Use fresh or pasteurized eggs to avoid any risk of salmonella.
  • Do not touch the blender blades while it is operating.
