This bright red and luscious strawberry sorbet is quick, easy and intensely flavored. A striking dessert that will cheer anyone up, and it couldn’t be easier to make.

There’s nothing quite like an ice cold, homemade sorbet to hit the spot on a hot summer day.
This strawberry sorbet is one of my very first sorbet recipes, and it’s still one of my all-time favorites.
The recipe was inspired by David Lebovitz and his recipe for Strawberry Sorbet from his Perfect Scoop book – but tweaked a little to suit our tastes. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
