Strawberry Sorbet
Description
This Strawberry Sorbet recipe starts by freezing fresh strawberries solid to prepare for blending. Frozen berries are processed with warm water to achieve a smooth consistency, then sweetened with honey and brightened with fresh lime juice and zest. The sorbet is refrozen to firm up its texture before serving. Using honey or maple syrup allows control over the natural sweetness without overpowering the fruit’s fresh flavors.
The resulting sorbet has a soft, icy texture and a clean taste accentuated by lime’s citrus notes. This makes it an appealing option for a light dessert or a cool snack. Serving it chilled and slightly firm enhances the texture and refreshment factor.
Ingredients
- 16 oz strawberries fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons honey optional - or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup water or warm strawberry juice - as needed, warm
- 1 lime juiced and zested⠀
Instructions
- If you are using fresh strawberries, arrange them on a tray and freeze them until completely solid. This will take about 2 hours.
- Next, add the frozen strawberries to the bowl of a food processor or heavy-duty blender and blend until smooth. ⠀
- Add warm water to loosen the sorbet, and use a spatula to press the fruit to the bottom of the processor.
- When smooth blend in the honey, taste, and add more if needed. Blend in the lemon juice and zest.
- Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours or overnight. Serve and enjoy!
