Summer calls for something cold, refreshing, and bursting with fresh fruit! This homemade blueberry lemon sorbet is one of the easiest frozen treats you can make, with just a handful of simple ingredients and absolutely no ice cream machine needed.
Sweet blueberries, fresh lemon juice, and a little honey come together to create the perfect balance of fruity sweetness and bright citrus. It’s light, refreshing, and the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day!
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh blueberries, washed and stems removed
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ⅓ cup water
- 2–3 tbsp honey, or to taste
Instructions
- Wash the blueberries and remove all the stems.
- Spread the blueberries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze overnight, until completely frozen.
- Add the frozen blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, water, and honey to a food processor or heavy-duty blender.
- Blend until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides and push the berries toward the blades. Continue blending until the mixture resembles a thick, creamy sorbet.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe container or a parchment-lined loaf pan. Cover and freeze for at least 6–8 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Remove from the freezer 5–8 minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls and garnish with fresh blueberries and a drizzle of honey.
A little tip: Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust the honey and lemon to your liking. If your sorbet freezes very firm, let it soften for a few extra minutes before scooping.
Fresh, fruity, tangy, and wonderfully refreshing — your new favorite summer dessert is just a few simple steps away! 🫐🍋💙
