Why Grapes Make A Better Sorbet Than Ice Cream - Tasting Table
Briefly

Moon Mist ice cream, developed in Nova Scotia in the 1960s, features a distinctive blend of banana, bubblegum, and grape flavors. Gaining popularity through the 1970s and 1980s, it stands out as one of the few grape ice creams due to the challenges grapes present in ice cream making. The high water content in grapes creates problems, such as hard freezing, leading to undesirable textures. Sorbet incorporates grapes more effectively, relying on sugar and water, avoiding the issues of ice cream while maintaining a soft, enjoyable texture.
Moon Mist ice cream, a unique blend of banana, bubblegum, and grape, originated in Nova Scotia during the 1960s and became popular in the 1970s and 1980s.
Grapes, due to their high water content, pose challenges for ice cream texture; freezing grapes can create unpleasant ice crystals when used in traditional ice cream.
Grape sorbet thrives because it requires only water and sugar, which accommodates grape's natural moisture content and leads to a softer texture.
Ice cream usually contains about 60% water in the base, while grapes' high water content requires careful balancing with fat and sugar to achieve a desirable ice cream texture.
