A quick and easy fresh berry sorbet made with simple ingredients, no added sugar, perfect for a refreshing and guilt-free dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300 grams) mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or a combination), fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water
  • Optional: a few fresh mint leaves
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup)

Instructions

  1. Measure out 2 cups (300 g) of mixed berries, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cold water.
  2. If using fresh berries, rinse and pat dry. Remove any stems or leaves. If frozen, keep them frozen until blending for best texture.
  3. Place the berries, lemon juice, and cold water into your blender or food processor. Pulse a few times to break up the fruit, then blend on high speed until smooth and creamy—about 1 to 2 minutes. You want a thick, icy puree.
  4. Taste the sorbet base. If it feels too tart, add 1 teaspoon of natural sweetener and blend again briefly. If too thick, add a splash more water (about 1 tablespoon/15 ml), but don’t overdo it—you want ice crystals, not juice.
  5. Use a spatula to scrape the sorbet into your freezer-safe container. Smooth the top for even freezing.
  6. Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until firm. For a softer texture, check after 1 hour and stir gently with a fork to break up any large ice crystals.
  7. Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping to soften slightly for easy serving.

Notes

Use frozen berries for best texture. Do not over-blend to avoid watery sorbet. Let sorbet freeze for at least 2 hours and stir after 1 hour for smooth texture. Optional sweetener can be added if berries are too tart. Let sorbet soften 5 minutes before serving.
