Description

A refreshing and naturally sweet dessert made with fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, and a hint of lemon. This easy-to-make strawberry sorbet is the perfect treat for warm days, offering a healthier and customizable alternative to traditional ice cream.


Ingredients

4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Prepare the simple syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  2. Puree the strawberries: In a blender, combine the hulled and sliced strawberries, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Puree until smooth.
  3. Strain the mixture (optional): If you prefer a smoother sorbet, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds. This step is optional but can help with texture.
  4. Churn in an ice cream maker: Pour the strawberry mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes until the sorbet firms up.
  5. Freeze before serving: Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up completely.
  6. Serve: Once the sorbet is firm, scoop and serve. Enjoy your refreshing homemade strawberry sorbet!

Notes

For a smoother sorbet, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and stir it every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to break up ice crystals.

Feel free to add more or less sweetener based on the sweetness of your strawberries.
