Description
A refreshing, homemade strawberry sorbet made with fresh or frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Perfectly sweetened and tangy, this easy no-cook dessert is a healthy and light treat ideal for warm days.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (thawed if frozen)
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Hull the fresh strawberries by removing the green tops and stems. If using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw for a few minutes to soften.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
- Freeze Mixture: Pour the blended strawberry mixture into a shallow dish or loaf pan. Place it in the freezer and chill for at least 4 hours, or until it becomes firm and sorbet-like in texture.
- Fluff and Serve: Once the sorbet is fully frozen, use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture, breaking up ice crystals for a softer texture. Scoop into serving dishes and enjoy your homemade strawberry sorbet.
Notes
- You can adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your strawberries or personal preference.
- If the sorbet is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
- For an extra smooth texture, you can press the blended mixture through a fine sieve before freezing to remove seeds.
- This sorbet is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
