A refreshing and naturally sweet Lemon Strawberry Sorbet made with frozen strawberries, agave nectar, and fresh lemon juice. This smooth, fruity dessert is easy to prepare using a blender or food processor and is perfect for a cool treat on warm days.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit and Flavorings

  • 16 oz. frozen strawberry chunks
  • 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice (or lime juice)
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest (or lime zest)

Sweetener

  • ¼ to ½ cup agave nectar (can substitute with honey or simple syrup)

Garnish

  • Fresh mint sprigs (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blend: Add the frozen strawberry chunks, ¼ cup of the agave nectar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest into a large food processor or blender. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, pausing every 20 to 30 seconds to scrape down the sides to ensure an even and smooth mixture with no visible fruit chunks.
  2. Adjust sweetness: Taste the sorbet mixture and add additional sweetener 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition until you reach your preferred sweetness level.
  3. Freeze the sorbet: Transfer the smooth strawberry mixture to a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly in the pan. Place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up.
  4. Serve: Remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes to soften slightly for scooping. Serve chilled with a sprig of fresh mint if desired and enjoy your refreshing lemon strawberry sorbet.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries to achieve a smooth and scoopable sorbet texture without needing an ice cream maker.
  • The sweetness level can be adjusted to taste by adding agave nectar, honey, or simple syrup gradually.
  • Lemon zest adds brightness, but lime zest can be used as a substitute for a twist in flavor.
  • Letting the sorbet sit briefly before serving helps soften it for easy scooping.
  • This sorbet is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
