Low Carb & Sugar Free Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet
Considering that Summer is right around the corner and the heat is coming in strong (at least it is here in Florida) I’m in need of a nice refresher. And nothing beats a cold glass of strawberry lemonade.
Well, that is until I had a scoop of Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet. This sugar free sorbet has all the same refreshing flavors, but in a smooth sorbet form. Give me another scoop!
I’m absolutely in love with the slight tartness from the lemon combined with the sweetness of the strawberries and water-syrup. This low carb sorbet is a perfect refresher on a hot summer day.
I know a lot of people don’t have an ice cream maker
, including myself and that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be able to have the pleasure of devouring delicious frozen desserts. If you are one of the lucky few to have an ice cream maker, than feel free to pop the puree into your ice cream maker right after step 3 and skip the stirring in step 5.

how long will this keep in a conventional freezer? how about a deep freezer?
Beth, as long as you have it in a well sealed container to prevent freezer burn, this sorbet should hold well for up to 2 months in a freezer.
