Why You’ll Love this Strawberry Mint Sorbet Recipe!

When strawberry season hits, I buy strawberries by the half-flat from a farm down the road. Fresh organic berries are pretty perfect already, but turning them into this refreshing strawberry mint sorbet is heavenly!

Plus, making homemade sorbet is not only quick & easy, but budget-friendly! You can make deliciously fresh sorbet for a fraction of the price that a small container costs in the store. Also, you can ensure you’re using simple, quality ingredients without preservatives or questionable sweeteners. You can adjust the sweetness of your strawberry sorbet, too! If your strawberries are sweet enough, you could get away with adding little to no sugar to this strawberry mint sorbet.

This strawberry sorbet recipe comes from my cookbook, Plant-Based on a Budget. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, give it a peak for lots of easy, inexpensive ways to cook vegan dishes for your family!

Toni’s Recipe Tips 

  • Use organic strawberries. If you can swing the additional expense, they are better for you and often have the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Wash the fruit. When eating strawberries, I prefer to place them in a bowl of cold water to wash them. Then after hulling them, I repeat this process again.
  • Freezing leftovers. Store the leftovers in the freezer for up to one month. To serve again, let the sorbet sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes to let it soften up a bit.

FAQs for Strawberry Sorbet

How do I make sorbet without an ice cream maker?

Homemade sorbet recipes need an ice cream maker to give it a creamier texture, but if you don’t have one you can prepare it granita-style. Freeze the strawberry mixture overnight in a baking pan. When you’re ready to serve, scrape the sorbet with a fork until it’s fluffy.

Is sorbet dairy-free?

Traditional sorbet is naturally dairy-free, vegan, and often gluten-free! Sorbet relies primarily on fruit puree and added sweetener and liquid (water or fruit juice) to make a tasty frozen treat. Because of this, sorbet has an icier and fruitier texture, compared to a creamy sherbet or ice cream. This makes it particularly refreshing and hydrating on hot days, and also a great palate cleanser after a delicious meal.

Is sorbet healthy?

Sorbet can be lighter and healthier than other frozen desserts! Sorbet contains all the nutrients of the fruits it’s made of. Also, it doesn’t have added fat or dairy, or the calories that come with those. Sorbet can be high in sugar, from the fruit itself, as well as added sugar. But a pro of making it yourself is being able to control the sugar content, as needed.

Variations on Strawberry Sorbet

  • Use a different berry. Go ahead and use blueberries or raspberries, if you want, for a berry sorbet. But keep in mind that you’ll need to adjust the amount of sugar added according to which fruit you’ll be using, since berries have different levels of sweetness.
  • Adjust the sugar. When it comes to sweetness, we all have different tastes so make sure you add sugar in small increments to adjust the sweetness of the sorbet to your liking.
  • No mint. That’s ok! You can leave it out for a vibrant strawberry sorbet or swap it with another fresh herb such as basil. Additionally, for some citrus flavor add lemon zest and a bit of freshly squeezed lemon juice!
