🧊 How to Make Strawberry Sorbet in Lemon Cups (No-Churn Method)
Step 1: Prep the Lemons
Slice lemons in half and carefully scoop out the pulp (save it for lemonade or tea!). Place the hollowed lemon cups in the freezer to chill.
Step 2: Blend the Sorbet
In a blender or food processor, add strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and mint (optional). Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness.
Step 3: Freeze
Pour into a shallow dish or container and freeze for 2–3 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to keep the texture smooth.
Step 4: Serve in Lemon Cups
Once scoopable, spoon the sorbet into chilled lemon cups and serve immediately or keep frozen until serving time.
💡 Tips for Serving Strawberry Fruit Sorbet in Lemon Shells
- Use very ripe strawberries for natural sweetness
- Want it creamier? Add 1–2 tbsp coconut milk to the blender
- Add a touch of vodka (½ tbsp) to prevent the sorbet from freezing rock-solid
- Garnish with mint sprigs, lemon zest, or edible flowers
