Homemade Strawberry Sorbet Recipe
This strawberry sorbet is fresh, fruity, and easy to make. A refreshing dairy-free dessert that’s perfect for cooling down on warm summer days.
Equipment
- Blender or food processor
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste depending on sweetness of berries
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
- Optional: A pinch of salt to enhance the flavors
Instructions
Step 1: Blend the ingredients
- Add the frozen strawberries, sugar, water, lemon juice, and pinch of salt to your blender or food processor.
- Blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a few times to make sure all the strawberries are evenly blended.
Step 2: Adjust for sweetness
- Once blended, give the mixture a taste. If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, add a bit more sugar and blend again. If it’s too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the perfect consistency.
Step 3: Freeze for firm scooping
- For a soft-serve texture, you can enjoy the sorbet right away. If you prefer firmer scoops, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, cover it, and freeze for about 2 hours. This step helps the sorbet set up nicely.
Step 4: Scoop and serve
- When you’re ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to make scooping easier. Use an ice cream scoop to serve it in bowls or cones. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of lemon if you’re feeling fancy!
- And there you have it homemade strawberry sorbet that’s bursting with fruity flavor.
