Description
Strawberry Sorbet Lemon Sugar is a refreshing, naturally sweet dessert made from frosty strawberry puree, fresh lemon, and sugar. It’s a simple, vegan, and dairy-free treat that’s easy to prepare and offers a guilt-free indulgence.
Ingredients
For the Sorbet:
600 grams fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
50 grams granulated sugar (or preferred sweetener)
10 millilitres freshly squeezed lemon juice (or zest from 1 lemon)
Pinch of fine sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: If you’re using fresh strawberries, remove the stems and freeze them for a few hours. If you’re using frozen strawberries, you can skip this step.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice (or zest), and a pinch of sea salt (optional) to a high-speed blender. Process until smooth and the sorbet reaches a soft, sorbet-like consistency.
- For Regular Blenders: If using a regular blender, allow the strawberries to thaw slightly (about 5 minutes) for easier blending. Then, blend the strawberries until smooth.
- Churn for Smoothness: For an ultra-smooth texture, transfer the puréed mixture to an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream machine, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and stir every 30 minutes until it reaches a scoopable consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a soft and refreshing sorbet, or freeze for a firmer texture. Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before serving if it becomes too hard.
Notes
Best Texture: For the best texture, it’s recommended to serve the sorbet immediately after churning. If you freeze it for later, let it soften for a few minutes before serving to achieve the perfect consistency.
Customization: If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, you can adjust the amount of sugar to your liking or use a different sweetener like honey or agave syrup.
Lemon Variation: You can increase or decrease the amount of lemon juice or zest based on your taste preference for tanginess.
