What Do You Need to Make Strawberry Lime Sorbet
- Strawberries: Frozen fruits are usually used to make sorbet. After rinsing the strawberries simply cut them in half lengthwise and leave them in the freezer for a few hours to freeze. Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor!
- Lime: Lime juice adds a tangy, citrusy flavor to the sorbet and boosts the strawberry flavor.
- Sugar: Usually fruits do not have enough sweetness for sorbet naturally and we have to add a little sweetener to it. The sorbet sweetener is sugar syrup, which is made by mixing water and sugar.
Instructions
- Transfer the granulated sugar and water to a deep saucepan.
- Boil the syrup mixture until the granulated sugar dissolves for 10 minutes on low heat.
- Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool at room temperature.
- Wash the strawberries, which you have cleaned the stem and green parts, in plenty of water, and drain the excess water. Cut it into small pieces, freeze them for a few hours, and then pass them through the blender.
- Mix the strawberry puree with the freshly squeezed lemon juice and the cooled syrup mixture.
- Keep the strawberry sorbet mixture in a sealed container in the freezer. Mix it with the help of a spoon every half an hour until it turns into ice cream with a firm and scoopable consistency.
FAQs
What Makes Sorbet So Creamy?
Sorbeto does not contain dairy and, in simpler terms, it is fat-free. Sorbet is usually made with fruits that have high pectin and fiber. These fruits get a texture similar to ice cream after being pureed in a blender.
