Easy Homemade Sorbet Recipe
There is something about a refreshing dessert on a hot summer day. The food always tastes better, and this sorbet is no exception. Not only does it look gorgeous with its stunningly bright colors but the taste… It’s going to blow you away! Plus, when you hear how simple this is to make, you are never going to want to buy this from the store again! I chose to make 3 different flavors of this homemade sorbet (because my kids couldn’t pick just one!), and boy, I am so glad that I did! I made mango, strawberry, and lemon. You can make one or make them all. My particular favorite is adding them all to the same bowl and eating them together. It’s fruity, fresh, and a dessert that everyone will love. The texture is perfectly creamy and melts in your mouth. You won’t be able to stop yourself from having seconds!
Ingredients in Homemade Sorbet
Since I couldn’t just decide on one flavor, I made three! This works out for you because now you have a few more options to choose from! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Strawberry Sorbet
Frozen Strawberries: Bring these straight out of the freezer. You don’t want them to thaw. Simple Syrup: This is just like it sounds. a simple syrup. The ingredients and instructions are on the recipe card. Lemon Juice: This mixes with the strawberries and doesn’t just add flavor but keeps it fresh.
Mango Sorbet
Frozen Mango: You can buy this in a bag at your local grocery store. Simple Syrup: Made from sugar and water, this is what will sweeten up the sorbet. Lemon Juice: Add some brightness to the lemon flavor.
Lemon Sorbet
Simple Syrup: You probably can tell by now that simple syrup is a must when making sorbet! Lemon Juice: You will use a lot of lemon juice to achieve a good flavor. Don’t be afraid. It’s the perfect amount for this homemade sorbet! Lemon Zest: You get that fresh lemon taste from lemon zest.
Simple Syrup
Granulated Sugar: This will act as the sweetener for the homemade sorbet. Water: The water is mixed in with the sugar. Once blended with the fruit, this is what gives the homemade sorbet a creamy texture.

Lemon Sorbet
Change up the flavor: The fruit in this recipe can be replaced with whatever frozen fruit you want to use. I love any kind of berries (but especially raspberries), lime, peach, or even watermelon! The amount of simple syrup and lemon juice may need to be adjusted to make up for different fruit’s sweetness or tartness. Fresh fruit MUST be frozen before using: When using fresh fruit, place sliced fruit on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze overnight before using in this recipe. Reduce the simple syrup to ¼-⅓ cup.Try different citrus: The lemon sorbet can be adjusted for any other citrus, though sweeter citrus (like oranges) will require more juice and less simple syrup to avoid being too sweet. Don’t leave out the simple syrup: The simple syrup can be reduced in any recipe to cut the sweetness, but avoid eliminating it completely. The simple syrup has a lower freezing point than water or fruit, which helps the sorbet have a soft, silky smooth texture when you are ready to scoop it. Make the syrup ahead of time: The simple syrup can be made in smaller or larger batches, with equal parts water and sugar. It can be stored for up to a month in the fridge.
