Going Dairy Free – The Sorbet Way!

 Animal lovers and lactose-intolerant folks alike can enjoy the timeless joy of frozen desserts in the form of sorbets. You just cannot do without trying the dairy and egg-free sorbet options at OMGelato!

We all love our frozen desserts, don’t we? The cool delight of the ice-cold treat melting in our mouth is the best respite from the scorching and restless days of summer. And the cold wintery weather is the perfect time to linger over the flavors and sensations of a scoop of frosty dessert. The frozen delights actually are best enjoyed when getting soaked in the rain or watching the thundering clouds from the window!

However, what if someone needs a dairy free ice cream for some reason? Ice creams, gelatos and sherbets contain varying amounts of milk which gives them the rich and creamy texture. So, should the dairy-allergic, lactose-intolerant and vegan population keep curbing those cravings and go through life without licking a frosty treat ever?

Unfortunately, the dairy-free ice cream options made with plant-based milk substitutes just don’t make the cut when it comes to the flavor or even the smooth consistency. While they do make for a refreshing change, the extra iciness and processed taste often caps the indulgence. Moreover, they are not healthy either and one cone too many can play havoc with the cholesterol levels.

The answer lies in a sorbet!

Indeed, sorbets feature a simple combination of fruit (puree or juice), water and sweetener – there is no scope for adulteration with any kind of dairy or animal product per se. This renders them inherently lactose and gluten free. What’s more, when made from real fruit, sorbets pack in additional doses of nutrition and antioxidants too. The lack of cream gives the sorbet a light texture and keeps the fat content quite low as well.

So, even those who are counting their calories or focusing on a healthier lifestyle can still break out their spoons to dip into a bowl of the frozen dessert called sorbet. Dig into this delectably cool dessert once in a way to satisfy that sweet tooth!

Getting your sorbet

Originally devised as a palate cleanser between dinner courses, sorbets were first offered as frozen desserts in French cafes way back in the seventeenth century. Sorbet enthusiasts in Plano, Texas just cannot afford to give OMGelato a miss. This neighborhood joint offers refreshing frozen desserts that are freshly made to order. The menu features the original Italian gelato along with the dairy and eggs free ice cream option of sorbets.

The uniqueness of OMGelato springs from the customizable nature of everything from the base and mix-ins to the toppings and sauces. There are a range of fruit and dark chocolate options for the sorbet base – any two of the flavors can be blended with up to three fruit add-ins and topped with three different toppings and a sauce of choice.

Indulge in this deliciously cool treat without worrying about triggering an allergy to dairy or breaking the promise of a vegan diet.
