Description
This Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet is a bright, refreshing frozen dessert made with ripe strawberries and fresh lemon juice. Smooth, fruity, and dairy-free, it is the perfect treat for warm days or a light dessert.
Ingredients
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon corn syrup
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from the heat and let the syrup cool.
- Add the strawberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, corn syrup, and salt to a blender or food processor.
- Pour in the cooled syrup and blend until completely smooth.
- For an extra-smooth texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve if desired.
- Refrigerate the mixture for 1 to 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
- Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 3 hours before serving.
- Scoop and serve cold, garnished with fresh strawberries or lemon slices if desired.
Notes
For a mixed berry version, replace part of the strawberries with raspberries or blueberries.
Add a splash of orange juice for a sweeter citrus flavor.
Blend in a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing herbal note.
Increase the lemon zest slightly for a stronger lemon flavor.
If you do not have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir every 30 to 45 minutes until frozen.
Store in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 2 weeks with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to reduce ice crystals.
Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping.
