Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet

Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet - Delia Creates

It’s lemon, it’s strawberry, it’s…

Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet - Delia Creates

Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet!

It’s also vegan, allergy friendly, light, refreshing, and full of summer flavor.

Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet - Delia CreatesI made a batch hoping it would yield a couple of nights worth of desserts but we downed it in one night!

It is SO yum!

It has more of a slushie consistency than a smooth one like full fruit sorbets have, which is kind of fun. 🙂

Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet - Delia CreatesOh yes…and it’s also only THREE ingredients!

Which makes it easy, peasy lemon squeezy. (punny right?) 😉

Ready for the recipe?

Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet - Delia Creates

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE SORBET

Yields about 1 quart

3 1/2 cups of prepared lemonade*
1/2 pint of strawberries, mashed or pureed
Juice of one lemon

*If you do not have prepared lemonade, you can make your own with 3 1/2 cups of water, juice of 6-7 lemons and about 1 cup of sugar.

STEP ONE: Mash or puree strawberries in a food processor or blender.

STEP TWO: Add lemonade and strawberries to a medium sized saucepan. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and simmer for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This brings out the natural pectin in the strawberries, which helps create a nice texture and flavor.

STEP THREE: Allow mixture to cool.  Add the juice of one lemon*. Transfer to a non-reactive pan (stainless steel or glass works well). Cover and freeze until frozen or almost frozen . About 4+ hours or overnight.

*You may reduce the recipe to include half a lemon or skip this ingredient if you prefer a less tart sorbet.

STEP FOUR: Remove from freezer. Let thaw a bit and then break up the contents of the pan into chunks with a butter knife. Blend or puree the frozen mixture and return to pan. Cover and re-freeze. About 2+ hours.

STEP FIVE: Scoop and serve.

    This sounds so yummy and I have strawberries in my freezer from my garden. So, I’m going to make some of this. I love lemonade and strawberries so, it’s a win win for me. Thanks for sharing!

        Usually we mulch our strawberries and last year it didn’t get done. This spring they came up like crazy and produced so many strawberries it was crazy! I am looking forward to making smoothies with them too.

    Think you could use an icecream maker instead of freezing and refreezing?
    Looks wonderful!

    I will definitely try this. It should work if I pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker, right?
