Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- 3 cups strawberries (360g), stemmed and frozen
- 1/4 cup sugar (choose from 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 the strawberries and freeze them if they are not already frozen. This ensures a smooth sorbet texture during blending.
- Blend Ingredients: If you have a high-speed blender such as a Vitamix, combine the frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and optional pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy like sorbet.
- Alternate Method: If using a regular blender, allow the berries to thaw slightly until they can be processed. Then, blend the ingredients together until mixed.
- Churn Sorbet: Transfer the blended mixture to an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve the ideal sorbet consistency.
- Serve: Once churned or blended, serve immediately for a soft sorbet or freeze further for a firmer texture. Enjoy your homemade strawberry sorbet!
Notes
- Using frozen strawberries is key to achieving a smooth sorbet texture without adding ice.
- You can substitute sugar with other natural sweeteners like maple syrup or xylitol for a healthier alternative.
- Adding lemon juice or zest enhances the flavor and balances the sweetness.
- For a dairy-free and vegan dessert, ensure the sweetener used complies with your dietary needs.
- If you don’t have an ice cream machine, using a high-speed blender alone works well for an instant texture.
