Strawberry Sorbet

Posted on by

Strawberry sorbet is a refreshing, light dessert bursting with flavour, renowned for its fruity intensity and smooth texture.

Ingredients

(Serves 4)

  • 500 g ripe strawberries
  • 120 g sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 120 ml water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, removing the stems

  2. Make a syrup: heat the water with the sugar until dissolved, then allow to cool.

  3. Blend the strawberries with the lemon juice and cooled syrup until you have a smooth purée.

  4. Strain if a smoother texture is desired.

  5. Freeze the mixture in a wide container for 3–4 hours, stirring every 30–45 minutes to prevent large ice crystals from forming.

Tips
Add a few mint leaves for a refreshing twist.

Substitute some of the sugar with honey or a sweetener if preferred.

For a more intense flavour, add a small splash of liqueur (optional).
