Ingredients
Scale
Fruit Base
- 16 oz. frozen strawberry chunks
Sweetener and Flavor
- ¼–½ cup agave nectar (or honey, or simple syrup)
- 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
- 1 tsp. lemon zest (or lime zest)
Serving
- Mint sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, ¼ cup sweetener, freshly squeezed juice, and zest into a large food processor or blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides every 20-30 seconds to ensure a smooth texture with no visible fruit chunks. Gradually add additional sweetener 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition until your preferred sweetness is reached.
- Shape Sorbet: Transfer the smooth sorbet mixture to a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly into a flat layer for consistent freezing.
- Freeze: Place the loaf pan in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the sorbet to firm up properly.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer and let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Serve with a fresh sprig of mint if desired and enjoy your refreshing lemon strawberry sorbet!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding sweetener gradually.
- Using a metal loaf pan helps the sorbet freeze evenly and makes it easier to scoop.
- Letting the sorbet soften briefly before serving improves texture and scoopability.
- Substitute agave nectar with honey or simple syrup depending on availability and preference.
- For a smoother texture, blend thoroughly to eliminate fruit chunks.
