Ingredients
- 3 cups strawberries 360g, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice granulated sugar, maple syrup, honey, agave, or xylitol for keto
- 2 tsp lemon juice or zest of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt optional, enhances sweetness
Instructions
Prepare Strawberries:
- If using fresh strawberries, wash 3 cups, remove stems, and freeze for at least 2 hours. Alternatively, use 3 cups pre-frozen strawberries for instant prep.
Blend the Sorbet:
- In a high-speed blender (e.g., Vitamix or Ninja), combine frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup sweetener, 2 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt (if using). Blend until thick and smooth, resembling gelato.
- For regular blenders or food processors, let strawberries thaw slightly (10-15 minutes) before blending to achieve a smooth texture.
Optional Churning:
- For a frostier texture, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (freeze the container in advance if required).
- If not using an ice cream maker, proceed to serving or freezing.
Serve:
- Scoop immediately with an ice cream scoop for a soft-serve Strawberry Sorbet texture.
- For a firmer consistency, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours before scooping.
- Serve in chilled glasses or bowls, garnished with fresh strawberries, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
