Tree Nut Free Vanilla Bean Sorbet with Strawberry-Blueberry Compote

Few desserts feel as effortlessly elegant as a silky, fruit-forward frozen treat made entirely from scratch. This sorbet gets its deep, floral sweetness from a real vanilla bean steeped right into the simple syrup — no extract shortcuts, just pure, fragrant flavor that comes through in every spoonful. The base is nothing more than water, sugar, lemon juice, and salt, which means the vanilla genuinely takes center stage. While the sorbet chills and churns, a quick stovetop compote of fresh strawberries and blueberries comes together with maple syrup and a squeeze of lemon, turning jammy and glossy in under ten minutes. That warm, jewel-toned fruit spooned over cold, creamy sorbet creates a contrast that feels almost restaurant-worthy. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts — no almond flour, no cashew cream, no hidden nut-based thickeners — you can serve this confidently without scanning a single label. It's the kind of dessert that looks impressive, tastes even better, and is genuinely simple to pull off.
