Hazelnut 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 deep, floral sweetness from a real vanilla bean steeped right into the syrup — no extract shortcuts, just pure, fragrant flavor that comes through in every spoonful. The process is straightforward: dissolve, steep, chill, and churn, letting the ice cream maker do the heavy lifting while you prep the compote. That compote is the kind of thing you'll want to put on everything — fresh strawberries and blueberries cooked down with maple syrup and a squeeze of lemon until jammy, glossy, and just barely warm when it hits the cold sorbet. Because every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden nut derivatives sneaking in through flavored syrups or pre-made bases. The contrast of icy vanilla sorbet against the warm, jewel-toned berry sauce is genuinely stunning, and it looks far more impressive than the effort involved. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just treating yourself, this is the kind of dessert that earns compliments without breaking a sweat.
