Description
Strawberry sorbet is a refreshing, dairy-free dessert made with fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. It’s perfect for warm weather and easy to make with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients
1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved completely. Allow the mixture to cool.
- Once the sugar water has cooled, combine it with the strawberry puree and lemon juice in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Once the sorbet has reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Serve the sorbet in bowls or cones and enjoy!
Notes
- For a minty twist, add a handful of fresh mint leaves to the strawberry mixture.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir it every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks in the freezer.
- If sorbet becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
