Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-churn sorbet recipe combining fresh strawberries and zesty lime for a refreshing summer treat. Perfectly smooth and creamy without an ice cream machine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2/3 cup (135g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the simple syrup by combining 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely (about 10-15 minutes).
  2. Hull and halve about 4 cups of fresh strawberries. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid.
  3. Add the strawberries to a blender or food processor. Pour in the cooled simple syrup and blend until smooth and silky, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt to the strawberry puree.
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk to add creaminess.
  6. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves.
  7. Spoon the mixture into freezer-safe cups or containers, leaving space at the top for expansion. Cover tightly.
  8. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best texture, stir gently every hour during the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals (optional).
  9. Before serving, let sorbet cups sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

Use ripe, fragrant strawberries for best flavor. Cool the simple syrup completely before blending to prevent ice crystals. Stir sorbet during freezing to keep it scoopable. Fold cream or coconut milk gently to maintain light texture. Let sorbet soften 5-10 minutes before serving for perfect texture.
