Refreshing Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet to Beat the Summer Heat!
While I definitely enjoy the summer season, some days the temperatures can be very high and the heat can get unbearable.
On a very hot summer day, all you want to do is to stay indoors with the aircon on, or soak in the pool with cool drink in your hand, or indulge in a delicious sorbet.
Here’s where this amazingly easy strawberry lemon sorbet comes in handy! The sweetness of the strawberries go so well with the tanginess from the fresh lemon juice, and ice-cold so you can cool off from the warm temperatures.
Plus, no special ice cream maker is required – all you need is a saucepan and blender! How’s that for easy?
Why This Recipe Works:
- Simple Ingredients: The 4 simple ingredients for this delicious strawberry lemonade sorbet are easily found at the local grocery store (nothing fancy required!).
- Easy to Make: Making this sorbet is simple, all you need is to dissolve the sugar in the water to form a syrup, and then blend the ingredients together before pouring the mixture into a loaf pan and freeze. It’s the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth on a hot day!
- Totally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free & Vegan: The best thing is that this strawberry sorbet recipe is naturally 100% gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan, which means that even those with Celiac disease or gluten or lactose intolerances are able to enjoy it without issues.

Recipe Notes + Substitutions:
- Sugar: I used white granulated sugar. Alternatively, you may also use cane sugar instead.
- Water: I used filtered water, but you can also use still water if you prefer.
- Lemon Juice: For the best flavor, make sure to use freshly-squeezed lemon juice from fresh lemons.
- Strawberries: I used frozen strawberries for convenience, but if you have plenty of fresh strawberries on hand, go ahead and use those (just make sure to remove the stalks and leaves).
How to Make Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet (Step by Step):
1. Dissolve Water in Sugar
In a small saucepan, add the sugar and water. Mix together over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves and you get a syrup.
Then remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup cool completely.
2. Blend Ingredients
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen strawberries, the lemon juice and cooled simple syrup together.
Blend the ingredients on high until you get a completely smooth mixture.
3. Transfer to Loaf Pan
Transfer the blended strawberry puree mixture into a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan and spread evenly.
4. Freeze Until Frozen
Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap, then place the loaf pan in the freezer and freeze for at least 5 hours or overnight until frozen.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Scoop and serve the strawberry sorbet in a serving bowl. Garnish this refreshing treat with fresh strawberries for a pop of color.
Dish by Dish Tips/Tricks:
- Use Different Fruit: If you wish, you can swap out the strawberries for other type of berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries), stone fruit (plums, apricots, or peaches), or other fruits such as mangoes.
- Freezing: Place the strawberry sorbet in an airtight container or cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent it from absorbing any weird freezer smells. Best eaten within a week.
