Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450 grams) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup (240 ml) prosecco (dry or extra dry)
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
Instructions
- Prepare the simple syrup by combining 1 cup water and 3/4 cup sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Hull and halve the strawberries. Optionally, strain the puree later for a seedless sorbet.
- In a blender or food processor, combine cooled simple syrup, strawberries, prosecco, lemon juice, and mint leaves. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Adjust sweetness or lemon to taste.
- For a silky texture, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 20-25 minutes until soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer sorbet to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.
- Serve scoops in chilled bowls or glasses, garnished with fresh mint.
Notes
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow container and stir every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until firm. Let sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping if too hard. Adjust sugar based on strawberry sweetness. For alcohol-free version, replace prosecco with sparkling water and add extra lemon juice.
