Ingredients

• Frozen strawberries - You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using fresh, here's how to freeze them. Since strawberry season is short, this is a great way to enjoy delicious strawberries year round.
• Coconut milk - while you can make fruit sorbet with just the fruit and lemon or lime juice, the addition of coconut milk results in a smoother creamier consistency in the sorbet.
• Fresh Lemon juice - It enhances the flavor of the strawberries, creating a more vibrant and zesty flavor. It also helps prevent the sorbet from becoming too icy, resulting in a softer and more enjoyable texture.
• Honey or maple syrup (optional) - add depending on desired sweetness level.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Transfer frozen strawberries, lemon juice, and coconut milk to the food processor or high-speed blender.
2. Process for 4-5 minutes, or until the strawberries are pureed and the mixture is smooth and creamy. You will need to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is well blended. Note: don't blend for too long. Otherwise the sorbet will get too soft and start melting.
3. Taste the strawberry mixture and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding maple syrup or honey or more lemon juice.
4. Enjoy immediately in a bowl or cone or transfer to an airtight container and freeze.

Tips for Success

• While you can use fresh or frozen strawberries, I highly encourage you to use fresh strawberries when they’re in season!
• If using a blender, add the milk and lemon juice first followed by the frozen strawberries.
• If you do end up blending for too long and the sorbet becomes too soft, freeze for an hour or two.
• If you freeze for more than six hours, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to soften. This will make it easier to scoop.
• Feel free to use a different fruit! Raspberry sorbet is so tasty too.
• If you desire a completely smooth consistency - After pureeing the strawberries in a blender or food processor, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press the mixture through the sieve while capturing the seeds.

Equipment

You don't need an ice cream machine to make this strawberry sorbet! But you do need a high-powered food processor or blender to break up the frozen strawberries.

I highly recommend using a food processor if you have one as the wider and more shallow bowl makes it easier to scrape down the sides during processing. My husband got me this food processor for Christmas because I want to start making more bliss balls for snacks. So far I am LOVING it!

If you're looking for the best blender, I've had my Vitamix for 7+ years and it's worth every penny!

I use it to make all my blender muffins, dips/sauces, smoothies, veggie nuggets, pancakes...it's hands down my number one workhorse.

Be sure to use the tamper that comes with it!

Storage

Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the surface and add a layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper on top to minimize ice crystals from forming. Close the lid and freeze for up to a month.
