Technically no. However, churning sorbet makes for a creamy and smooth end result! And trust me, you’ll be so glad you took the time to pull out your ice cream machine for this recipe. But like most things in life, too much of a good thing can be bad. Churning sorbet too long is a problem. In fact, too long of a churn time results in a loose and crumbly  sorbet. Even 30 minutes of churning sorbet is too long. Churning the raspberry sorbet mixture until it reaches the consistency of a thick milkshake will result in a dense and beautifully flavorful sorbet.
