Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Ingredients

Start by measuring out 600 grams of frozen strawberries, which is approximately 21 ounces. Place them in a good quality blender.

Add the juice of half a lemon to the blender. This will enhance the flavor and freshness of the sorbet. If you prefer a sweeter result and the strawberries are not sweet enough for your taste, consider adding a sweetener of your choice.

Also, measure out 80 grams of ice, roughly 2.8 ounces, and add it to the blender. The ice will help create a smooth texture for the sorbet.

Step 2

Blend the Mixture

Cover the blender and blend the mixture on high until it is completely smooth. This should take around 1-2 minutes. Depending on your blender, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is well combined.

After blending, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness as necessary by adding more sweetener. Blend again briefly to incorporate.

Step 3

Freeze the Sorbet

Once blended, pour the strawberry mixture into a wide and shallow dish. This will help it to freeze evenly and quicker.

Place the dish in the freezer for several hours, or until the sorbet is firm. Ideally, leave it overnight for the best texture.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

After freezing, scoop the sorbet into serving bowls or cups. It should have a smooth and fluffy texture that is easy to scoop.

Garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious, healthy, sugar-free strawberry sorbet with friends and family during the festive season!

Faq

  • What if my sorbet is too icy?

    If your sorbet turns out too icy, it might be due to freezing too long or not blending enough. Blend the frozen mixture again briefly before serving to soften it a little.

  • Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

    Yes, but you will need to freeze your fresh strawberries first to achieve the sorbet texture, as frozen fruit blends better.

  • How can I make my sorbet sweet without using sugar?

    You can add natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or stevia, or simply let the sweetness of the ripe strawberries shine through!

  • Can I add other flavors to the strawberry sorbet?

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with flavors by adding lemon zest, vanilla extract, or even a splash of rum for an adult twist.

  • What’s the best way to store leftover sorbet?

    Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer. To prevent it from becoming too hard, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

  • How can I make the sorbet more creamy?

    For a creamier texture, incorporate some coconut cream or yogurt into the blend before freezing.
