Many of us remember strawberry sherbet from childhood: it cost seven or ten kopecks, so you could eat it every day and more than one serving. How natural that delicacy was is, of course, a moot point, but it definitely did not have such a number of dyes and flavors that modern ice cream sins. That's why we suggest you learn how to cook strawberry sherbet at home, especially since it's incredibly simple and very pleasant to do. Especially in summer, especially in the season of country berries! Make sure to make strawberry sherbet: it gives an unforgettable taste experience and perfectly removes thirst.

How to cook Strawberry sherbet

Step 1

Prepare strawberries. Wash the berries and dry well, laying out on a paper towel. Peel strawberries, removing stems and twigs. Transfer to blender bowl.

Step 2

Puree the strawberries, then run them through a fine metal sieve to remove any pits. The mass should acquire a homogeneous consistency.

Step 3

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Add honey, vodka or liqueur. Stir with a spoon, then combine with the previously prepared strawberry puree.

Step 4

Transfer the resulting strawberry mass to a low plastic container. Put in the freezer for 5-6 hours. Every hour sherbet must be taken out and mixed.

Strawberry sherbet - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones for this sherbet?

Yes, frozen strawberries work well. Just thaw and drain any excess liquid before blending to maintain the right consistency.

What can I use as a substitute for honey to make it vegan?

Maple syrup or agave nectar are great vegan alternatives to honey and will provide similar sweetness.

How long can I store strawberry sherbet in the freezer?

Properly stored in an airtight container, it lasts up to 2 weeks. For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Can I make this sherbet without alcohol?

Absolutely! Just skip the vodka or liqueur. The alcohol helps with texture, but the sherbet will still be delicious without it.

How can I make this recipe lower in sugar?

Reduce the honey or use a sugar substitute like stevia. Keep in mind this may slightly alter the texture and sweetness.

What’s the best way to serve strawberry sherbet?

Serve it in chilled bowls or glasses, garnished with fresh mint or extra strawberry slices for a refreshing touch.

Can I double this recipe for a larger batch?

Yes, but divide the mixture into smaller containers for even freezing and easier stirring during the process.

Why do I need to stir the sherbet every hour while freezing?

Stirring breaks up ice crystals, ensuring a smooth, creamy texture instead of a hard, icy block.
