Homemade Strawberry & Lime Sorbet in 5 minutes (No Machine)
Description
The sorbet is made by pureeing frozen strawberries along with fresh lime zest and fat-free condensed milk until smooth and creamy. The lime zest adds a bright citrus note that complements the natural sweetness and slight tartness of the strawberries. Using condensed milk provides creaminess and sweetness without adding ice crystals commonly found in simple fruit purees. The mixture is then chilled in the freezer for around 4 hours, allowing it to set firm enough for scooping. This no-machine approach simplifies homemade sorbet making without sacrificing texture or flavor.
Stored properly in an airtight container, the sorbet can remain good in the freezer for up to six weeks. This allows for convenient make-ahead preparation. The recipe balances fruity brightness and rich creaminess, offering a cool dessert ideal for warm days or anytime a light frozen treat is desired.
Ingredients
- 3 cups strawberry frozen, 15oz/390g
- lime zest from whole lime
- ¼ cup condensed milk fat-free
Notes
- This recipe yields a light, refreshing sorbet; fat-free condensed milk adds creaminess while keeping preparation simple.
- Freeze the blended mixture for about 4 hours to achieve a scoopable texture.
- Keep the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 weeks for best quality.
