puuviljajäätis

Puuviljajäätis, often referred to as fruit ice cream or sorbet, is a frozen dessert primarily made from fruit purée or juice, sugar, and water. Unlike traditional dairy-based ice cream, puuviljajäätis typically contains no milk or cream, making it a lighter and often dairy-free option. The characteristic flavor and texture come directly from the chosen fruits.

The preparation involves combining fruit, sweetener, and liquid, then freezing the mixture while agitating it to prevent large ice crystals from forming. This agitation can be achieved using an ice cream maker or by manually stirring the mixture periodically as it freezes. Common fruits used include berries, citrus fruits, stone fruits, and tropical fruits, each lending its unique taste and color to the final product.

Puuviljajäätis is popular for its refreshing quality, especially during warmer months. Its simplicity allows for a wide variety of flavor combinations. The absence of dairy also makes it a suitable dessert for individuals with lactose intolerance or those following vegan diets, provided no animal-derived ingredients are used in the sweetener or other additives. The sugar content can be adjusted to suit personal preference and the natural sweetness of the fruit. It is a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on its own or as an accompaniment to other dishes.
