Ingredients
Fruits
- 4 cups frozen cherries, pitted
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
Liquid & Sweetener
- 1 cup simple syrup (or substitute with agave or honey)
- ½ cup warm water
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather the frozen cherries and strawberries, ensuring the cherries are pitted for smooth blending.
- Blend mixture: Add the frozen cherries, frozen strawberries, simple syrup, and warm water into a high-powered blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth, pausing occasionally to push the sorbet down if the blades get stuck to ensure even blending.
- Adjust consistency: If the sorbet is too thick to blend smoothly, add additional warm water 1 tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until you reach a smooth, scoopable texture.
- Freeze or serve: Transfer the sorbet mixture to a metal loaf pan or any freezer-safe container. You can either serve it immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze it for firmer consistency. The sorbet can be stored in the freezer for up to 4 weeks.
Notes
- You can substitute simple syrup with agave nectar or honey for a natural sweetener.
- If you prefer a softer texture, serve the sorbet immediately after blending.
- Use a high-powered blender for best results to get a smooth sorbet without chunks.
- Add extra warm water gradually to prevent the sorbet from becoming too runny.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free.
