This Strawberry Sorbet is easy to make and uses only a few ingredients. It's dairy-free, low-carb, and most of all delicious!
During the warmer spring and summer months, you'll see our daughters eating all the berries they can find. Our oldest can eat an entire container of strawberries in one sitting if we would let her. The last time we went berry picking, I had to tell them to charge me more than they were going to because I was pretty sure she ate a few pounds of them before we even left the fields, haha.
Anytime I make something out of strawberries, she loves it. So naturally, I tend to make more when I have them in season. It makes the berries last a little bit longer before they are eaten. At least that's what I tell myself, so I don't question where all the berries had gone that I just bought hours before.
What is Sorbet?
Sorbet is a frozen treat usually made with ingredients like fruit, fruit juice, sugar, and water. They are usually dairy-free, but some varieties do contain dairy. This is not one of them.
Sorbet vs. Sherbet vs. Ice Cream
Sorbet is the fruit, or fruit puree + water + sugar. It does not contain milk, cream or eggs.
Ice Cream is milk or cream +sugar + fruit, or other flavors added. It usually has a custard-type base and often contains dairy and eggs.
Sherbet lies somewhere between the two. It starts like a sorbet with the fruit +water +sugar but often has dairy added.
If you're wondering how the creaminess compares, it's usually ice cream, then sherbet, and then sorbet, with it being the most icy in texture of the three.
