Easy Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet Recipe
Preparing frozen desserts in my ice cream maker is my new obsession. It’s so satisfying to see simple ingredients churn into a delicious smooth treat. After making pumpkin ice cream and red velvet ice cream , I wanted something boozy and elegant—so I created this 5-ingredient Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet!

How to Make Pomegranate Champagne Sorbet Step by Step
Dissolve the sugar in champagne : Combine 1½ cups of brut champagne, 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of light corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a rolling boil until sugar dissolves.
Add pomegranate juice : Once all the sugar dissolves add 1¾ cups of pomegranate juice. Freeze the mixture for 2 hours (or refrigerate overnight). It should be completely cooled before moving on to the next step.
Churn in ice cream maker : Pour the champagne mixture into your ice cream maker, and follow instructions that came with the maker to finish this part of the process. Mine took about an hour to churn.
Once it’s done, scoop it into a freezer-safe container. Freeze 4-6 hours before serving. I topped my champagne sorbet with some whipped cream and pom arils, and DANG it was good.
How to Store Leftovers
Freeze any leftover sorbet for up to 2 weeks. Transfer to an airtight container, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sorbet and freeze.
Serving Suggestions
Champagne sorbet is delicious on its own, but the pomegranate flavor pairs perfectly with chocolate cake or cookies. Try it with my cookie cake or mocha cookies for a dreamy combo!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
