    Why You’ll Love this Strawberry Sorbet

    • Loaded with fresh strawberries. I mean who doesn't love vibrant, sweet, and utterly succulent strawberries? They are low in calories and are one of nature's antioxidant powerhouses. And like most fruits, they have tons of nutrients, vitamins and minerals that all contribute to overall health. I love making it during strawberry season after picking fresh strawberries from our local farm. It's seriously the best!
    • It’s a clean and healthy dessert. Since the main ingredient in this strawberry sorbet is strawberries, this fruit sorbet is a mostly healthy, nutritious dessert packed with essential nutrients and antioxidants. It’s also vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free, and even though it has some sugar, it is still one of the healthiest dessert options out there.
    • It’s so easy to make. After making this strawberry sorbet once, you’ll want to keep a batch in the freezer all the time. Why? Because it’s seriously so easy to make with just 5 minutes of prep. You simply combine your ingredients in a blender and puree. Then, let your freezer do the rest and in a few hours you can scoop out a bowl of this refreshing dessert.
    • You might have everything you need already. This strawberry sorbet consists of three simple ingredients along with water: strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. It's all you need for a sweet and delicious treat on a hot summer day. You might want to double this recipe because there won't be much left once you have had a taste.

    Ingredient Notes

    To make this easy 3-ingredient strawberry sorbet, you will need a blender, and the following ingredients (full quantities in recipe card below):

    • strawberries - you will need fresh strawberries for this sorbet recipe. You can also substitute with frozen. If using frozen, your sorbet will be ready faster.
    • lemon juice
    • granulated sugar - sugar is really important because it is what gives the sorbet its creamy texture. Without it, you will have a large frozen popsicle. The pureed mixture will taste quite sweet, but freezing will dull the sweetness. For a refined sugar free option, you can try this with honey (but be mindful that the texture might not be exactly the same).
    • water
    • sliced strawberries - optional, for garnish.

    For a creamy and milkier sorbet, add in 1 cup yogurt.

    1. Freeze again. Cover and return to the freezer and leave to fully set, about 4 more hours. 
    2. Serve. Serve immediately. If the sorbet is too hard to scoop (if you stored it too long), then let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften before scooping.

    Recipe Tips and Tricks

    • How to store: Store strawberry sorbet in an airtight container or covered container in the freezer for up to one month. After that, it will still be safe to eat, but it will start to become overly icy.
    • Sorbet too hard to scoop? If you find that it is too hard to scoop, then let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping with an ice cream scoop.

      Your sorbet recipes have changed my life! This one is amazing, as is the watermelon one. I have to try the lemon turmeric next. I live in a small town where the only options are sugary milky ice creams. For some reason I always thought I needed an ice cream maker for sorbet! But no! These are so so good, as have been all the recipes I have tried here.
