Description
This refreshing, naturally sweetened strawberry sorbet is a perfect treat to cool off during hot days. With just a handful of simple ingredients, it’s easy to make, and you can enjoy the vibrant, fruity flavors in every bite.
Ingredients
3 cups strawberries (360g)
1/4 cup sugar of choice (pure maple syrup, white sugar, xylitol, etc.)
2 tsp lemon juice or zest of 1 lemon
Optional: a pinch of salt for enhanced flavor
Instructions
- If your strawberries aren’t frozen, remove the stems and freeze them ahead of time.
- In a high-speed blender (like a Vitamix), combine frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice (or zest), and optional pinch of salt.
- Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth sorbet consistency.
- If you’re using a regular blender, thaw the strawberries until they can be processed, then transfer the mixture to an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Once blended or churned, serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze for 1–2 hours to firm it up for a scoopable sorbet.
Notes
- Store leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1–2 weeks.
- If too firm to scoop, leave the sorbet out for a few minutes before serving.
- Experiment with different fruits like mango, blueberries, or raspberries for a variety of flavors.
- For a creamy twist, add a small amount of coconut milk or yogurt.
