I don’t know about anyone else, but both Sara and I are so surprised at how busy we are this summer! I had all sorts of grand plans for posting some amazing 4th of July food craft, but after I left my half gallon of vanilla ice cream for my Martha Stewart-esque strawberry sorbet sundaes in my car (let’s not even talk about how not-nice I was about that one!), I was done. And I figured, hey, I can’t be the only one here who’s strapped for time and really not feeling the urge to cook. Enter David Lebovitz’s Strawberry Sorbet from his fabulous ice cream Bible The Perfect Scoop, which, fortunately, is gorgeously perfect for the 4th of July!
1 lb. strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
Pinch of salt
We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend full of great food and fun!
1 lb. strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
Pinch of salt
Now…if you were after my original idea, you could place some broken sugar cookies in the bottom of a parfait dish, add a layer of sorbet, a dollop of vanilla ice cream, and garnish with blueberries for a fun, cool, and easy holiday dessert!
Questions & Reviews
I made this recipe, but added chopped leaves from my chocolate mint plant (yes, there IS such a thing and it’s worth it to buy it even if all you do is smell it) to the strawberry-sugar mixture and refrigerated it overnight. Then made the sorbet 24 hrs later. Verdict?? Pretty much THE BOMB!
Am I the only one who thinks this tastes like frozen strawberry jam? My kids loved it but my husband and I felt like it was more of a topping, like on vanilla ice cream. Did I mess it up or does it taste like jam to anyone else?
This was so delicious! I loved it. What ratio would you do for other fruit?
So easy and SOOOOOOO yummy! My 4YO and I made it today and it is to die for! Thanks again, ladies!
Ok, so yeah… I knew this would be good, but now that I've made it, WOW!!! I recently stumbled across the same Cuisinart ice cream maker you use at Costco for only $39.99 and came here for something to make… Yet another score, thanks!!
Another recipe tried. Fabulous!
Ok … I made this last night and just had a bite this morning … HOLY COW. This is so yummy! And easy! I can tell we'll be making it again soon.
Made this for 4th of July and it was a BIG HIT with everyone! I'm going to try peach next, but probably put the blended liquid into popsicle molds for my kids.
Thanks for the recipe. So simple and tasty!
