Ingredients You’ll Need

Strawberries: You can use fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries. If you use fresh, freeze them before blending.
Raw honey: This natural sweetener also enriches the texture.
Lemon juice or lime juice: Whichever you choose, ensure it’s freshly squeezed for the best taste.

How to Make Strawberry Sorbet

PREPARE INGREDIENTS. To begin, ensure that your strawberries are frozen. If they’re not already frozen, pop them in the freezer until completely solid. This typically takes around 1-2 hours, but I often leave them overnight for convenience.

BLEND INGREDIENTS. Once frozen, transfer the strawberries, honey, and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend the strawberries until they reach a smooth consistency.

TASTE TEST + ADJUST. Once the mixture is smooth, taste it and add raw honey as desired for sweetness.

SERVE OR FREEZE. You have two options for enjoying your strawberry sorbet. If you prefer a softer texture, indulge in it immediately. Alternatively, if you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1-2 hours until it reaches the desired consistency. Then, it’s time to savor your homemade frozen strawberry delight! Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Strawberry Sorbet

If using fresh strawberries, remember to rinse them before freezing them.
Fresh strawberries are better as they tend to be sweeter than store-bought frozen strawberries.
If it’s hard to scoop it fresh out of the freezer, allow it to sit for at least 5 minutes.

Recipe Variations

Add Herbs: For an invigorating twist, add fresh herbs like mint or basil. Strawberry basil sorbet has a nice ring to it!
Fruit Sorbet: Add frozen mango, watermelon, or banana for a more fruity flavor.
Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet: Instead of lime or lemon juice, you can add your favorite lemonade. You can also try another fruit juice like orange or pineapple.
Vegan: Instead of honey, use maple syrup or agave.

Storage

Strawberry sorbet will last for up to 2 months in the freezer.

FAQs

What’s the difference between sorbet and ice cream?

Sorbet is essentially fruit (or fruit juice or fruit puree), water, and sugar. Ice cream is made with milk or cream, sugar, and occasionally fruit. Ice cream is thicker and creamier than sorbet because of the dairy.

What’s the difference between sherbet and sorbet?

Sherbert is basically sorbet with dairy added.

What makes sorbet so creamy?

Although some sorbet recipes rely on an ice cream maker or even alcohol for a creamy texture, this strawberry sorbet gets its smooth consistency from the honey. Strawberries are also high in pectin, a fiber that thickens whatever it is added to. Enjoy this all-natural sorbet!
