Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen raspberries, thawed)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Red candy or gummy pill for topping
- Optional: green food coloring for extra Matrix vibe
Instructions
- Begin by blending the fresh or thawed raspberries in a blender until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine sieve to remove seeds, ensuring a silky texture for your Matrix sorbet.
- In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Mix the cooled sugar syrup into the raspberry puree. Add lemon juice to enhance the flavor. For a more authentic Red Pill dessert look, add a few drops of red food coloring for a richer red hue.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or an ice cream maker. If using a dish, stir every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until the sorbet is firm and scoopable, about 3-4 hours. For an easier method, use an ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Scoop the sorbet into glass dishes. Top with a shiny red candy or gummy pill to mimic the Red Pill from the movie. Optional: add a few drops of green food coloring or edible glitter to evoke the Matrix’s cyber aesthetic.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh raspberries for a more vibrant flavor, but frozen can be used if in season.
- If you prefer a greener Matrix vibe, add a few drops of green food coloring during the puree stage.
- Ensure the sorbet is fully frozen before serving for a perfect texture.
