FCD: Strawberry & Lime Sorbet Slushy

Makes: 1 generous serving

A refreshing cross between a sorbet and a frozen mocktail. Perfect on a warm day, with

bright strawberries, zingy lime and just enough lemonade to keep it scoopable.

Ingredients

From your freezer

• 150g frozen strawberries

• 1/4 wedge of lime juice

From your fridge

• 100g fresh strawberries, hulled

• 50–75ml chilled lemonade

• 1 tbsp maple syrup (or to taste)

Method

1. Prepare the fruit

If using a high-powered blender or Thermomix, you can use the frozen strawberries straight from the freezer.

If using a standard blender or food processor, allow the frozen strawberries to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly. This makes them much easier to blend and is kinder to your machine.

2. Blend

Add to the blender:

• Frozen strawberries

• Fresh strawberries

• Lime juice

• Maple syrup

Blend until smooth. Add the lemonade a little at a time until the mixture reaches the consistency of a soft sorbet or thick slush.

3. Serve

Spoon into a chilled glass or dessert bowl.

If you like you can garnish with:

• A fresh strawberry

• A slice of lime

  
  

Serve immediately with a spoon

Top Tip

If you're serving this as a dessert rather than a drink, pop the serving glass or bowl into the freezer for 15 minutes beforehand. It helps keep the slush beautifully frosty while you eat it.
