  3. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform, with no visible chunks.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish or baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula for faster freezing.
  5. Place the dish in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, use a fork or spatula to scrape and break up the ice crystals, ensuring an even, flaky texture. Repeat this process 3-4 times until fully frozen and scoopable.
  6. Serve the sorbet in bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit or herbs. The finished sorbet should be icy with a slightly chunky consistency and vibrant pink color.
