Main Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen strawberries
- 2–4 tablespoons maple syrup (or preferred sweetener, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract or a small pinch of salt
Instructions
- Blend the Ingredients: Add frozen strawberries, sweetener, lemon juice, and optional ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the sorbet mixture and add more sweetener if desired, depending on the ripeness and natural sweetness of the berries.
- Serve Soft or Freeze: You can serve the sorbet immediately for a smooth, soft-serve texture, or transfer it to a container and freeze it for 1 to 2 hours if you prefer a firmer consistency.
- Scoop and Enjoy: If frozen, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping to soften slightly. Serve and enjoy your delicious strawberry sorbet!
Notes
- Use a high-speed blender or food processor for best results.
- Maple syrup can be replaced with honey, agave syrup, or a sugar substitute based on preference.
- Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavor of the strawberries.
- Letting the sorbet soften slightly after freezing helps with easy scooping.
- For a chunkier texture, pulse the mixture instead of blending until completely smooth.
