Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

3 cups strawberries (360g), stems removed, frozen or fresh

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prepare Strawberries: Remove the stems from the strawberries. If they are not already frozen, place them in the freezer until fully frozen to achieve the ideal texture for the sorbet.
Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender (such as a Vitamix), combine the frozen strawberries, sugar or sweetener of choice, lemon juice or zest, and an optional pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and reaches a sorbet-like texture.
Alternative Method: If using a regular blender and frozen strawberries, allow the berries to thaw slightly until they can be processed without straining the machine. After blending, transfer the mixture to an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions to achieve the sorbet consistency.
Serve or Store: Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze for a firmer sorbet. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer.

Notes

Using a high-speed blender eliminates the need for an ice cream maker, making this recipe quick and easy.
If you prefer a less sweet sorbet, adjust the sugar quantity to your taste.
The lemon juice not only adds flavor but also helps preserve the bright color of the sorbet.
For best texture, consume the sorbet within 1 week of making it.
