Vegan Strawberry Lime Sorbet

Last weekend, I was craving something icy, sweet, and tart, and ended up whipping up a batch of this vibrant and tangy vegan strawberry lime sorbet.

This plant-based dessert is the perfect frozen creamy treat any time of the year. It’s easy to make, completely dairy-free, and delicious!

How to make Vegan Strawberry Lime Sorbet

Toss your ripest strawberries (or frozen ones in a pinch) into a high-powered blender along with tangy lime juice, a touch of sweetness from agave nectar or maple syrup, and a splash of water. Don’t forget a pinch of sea salt for balance! Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.

Adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking, then pour the mixture into your trusty ice cream maker and churn away for 20-25 minutes. No ice cream maker? It’s all good! Instead, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up the ice crystals. Scoop the frozen delight into bowls, and top with fresh mint leaves, a dollop of vegan whipped cream, or a sprinkle of lime zest for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips:

• Use the ripest strawberries you can find for the best flavor. Frozen strawberries will work just fine too, but fresh will give you a more intense strawberry taste.
• If you don’t have agave nectar or maple syrup, you can use any other sweetener you like, such as honey or brown rice syrup. Just keep in mind that the sweetness will vary depending on the sweetener you use.
• For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of coconut milk or cashew cream to the blender with the other ingredients.
• This sorbet is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Just be sure to let it thaw for a few minutes before scooping, as it will become quite hard.

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups frozen strawberries
• ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice about 2 limes
• ¼ cup agave nectar or maple syrup adjust to your sweetness preference
• ¼ cup water
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

 

• In a high-powered blender, combine all ingredients: frozen strawberries, lime juice, agave nectar or maple syrup, water, and salt.
• Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture may be slightly thick at this point.
• Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as desired. You can add more agave nectar or maple syrup for sweetness, or more lime juice for tartness.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
• If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can still make sorbet! Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up the ice crystals. This will result in a slightly icier texture, but still delicious!
• Once frozen, scoop the sorbet into bowls and enjoy! Top with fresh mint leaves, vegan whipped cream, or lime zest for an extra special treat.
