Description
This easy and refreshing Strawberry Sorbet recipe uses just a few simple ingredients to create a smooth and naturally sweet dessert perfect for hot days. Made with frozen strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice, this sorbet requires no ice cream machine if you have a high-speed blender, making it quick and convenient to prepare.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups strawberries (360g), stems removed and frozen
- 1/4 cup sugar (can be pure maple syrup, white sugar, xylitol, or preferred sweetener)
- 2 tsp lemon juice (or zest of 1 lemon)
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Remove the stems from fresh strawberries and freeze them if not already frozen to achieve the ideal texture for sorbet.
- Blend Ingredients: If using a high-speed blender like a Vitamix, combine the frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and optional pinch of salt in the blender. Blend until a smooth sorbet texture is achieved.
- Alternative Method: If using a regular blender, allow the frozen berries to thaw slightly so they can be processed, then blend all ingredients until combined.
- Churn if Needed: For those without a high-speed blender, transfer the blended mixture to an ice cream machine and churn following the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a sorbet consistency.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a soft sorbet or freeze for a firmer texture before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use a high-speed blender to avoid the need for an ice cream machine.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount or type of sugar or sweetener.
- Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavor balance.
- Use fresh lemon zest instead of juice if preferred for a more aromatic touch.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
