Ingredients + Tips for Homemade Strawberry Sherbet

How to Make No-Churn Strawberry Sherbet

Recipe Tips

• Like your sherbet to have a little extra texture? Try folding a few diced strawberries into your sherbet before freezing.
• Looking to make an airier, more ice-cream-like dessert? Try whipping your cream before folding it into the rest of your ingredients. Your resulting sherbet should be softer and lighter.
• For best results, let your sherbet freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• I don’t like strawberry seeds in my sherbet, so I strain the puree through a fine-mesh strainer to make it extra smooth.
