Brazil Nut Free Vanilla Bean Sorbet with Strawberry-Blueberry Compote

Few desserts feel as clean and celebratory as a fruit-forward frozen treat made entirely from scratch. This sorbet gets its depth from a real vanilla bean steeped right into the simple syrup, giving it a floral, aromatic richness that vanilla extract just can't match. The syrup is chilled, churned, and frozen until it holds a perfect, silky scoop — no dairy, no nuts, no complicated steps. Alongside it, a quick stovetop compote of fresh strawberries and blueberries sweetened with maple syrup adds a jammy, jewel-toned contrast that makes the whole bowl feel like something from a nice restaurant. Because the ingredient list is so straightforward — sugar, citrus, fresh fruit, and a single vanilla bean — there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden nut derivatives or worry about cross-contact from packaged products. It's the kind of dessert that impresses guests while being genuinely simple to pull off at home.
