Classic Lemon Blueberry Sorbet
A refreshing balance of sweet and tart, this classic lemon blueberry sorbet brings out the natural flavors of fresh blueberries with a zesty citrus twist. The lemon juice enhances the berries’ vibrant taste while keeping the sorbet light and bright. This is a fantastic way to enjoy frozen fruit in a healthy dessert packed with vitamin C.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the ingredients: Add the blueberries, lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), water, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to your Blendtec blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, creating a silky puree in seconds.
- Freeze: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow container and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Serve: Once fully set, scoop into bowls and enjoy the refreshing citrus-infused blueberry sorbet.
Pro Tip: Garnish with fresh mint leaves or an extra zest of lemon for a gourmet touch.
Honey Lavender Blueberry Sorbet
This unique blueberry sorbet gets a floral upgrade with the soothing aroma of lavender and a touch of natural sweetness from honey. It’s a delightful and calming treat that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. For added depth, try incorporating raspberries or blackberries for a mixed-berry flavor twist.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen blueberries
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender (or 1 tablespoon fresh lavender flowers)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Infuse the lavender: In a small saucepan, combine the water and honey. Heat over low-medium heat and stir until the honey dissolves. Add the lavender and let it steep for 5-7 minutes. Strain out the lavender flowers and let the simple syrup cool.
- Blend: Add the blueberries, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and the cooled lavender-honey syrup to your blender. Blend on high until perfectly smooth, achieving a creamy texture instantly.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls and serve with fresh lavender sprigs for a beautiful presentation.
Pro Tip: If you love a stronger floral flavor, steep the lavender for a little longer, but be careful—it can become overpowering!
Tropical Coconut Blueberry Sorbet
For a tropical twist, this coconut-infused blueberry sorbet offers a creamy, rich texture without any dairy. The coconut milk pairs perfectly with the deep sweetness of blueberries for a rich, frozen treat. The creamy consistency is reminiscent of blueberry cheesecake, but completely dairy-free.
Ingredients
2 cups frozen blueberries
1/2 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
1/4 cup coconut water or regular water
1/2 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
Instructions
- Blend everything together: Add the blueberries, coconut milk, coconut water, maple syrup, lime juice, and coconut extract to your blender. Blend on high speed until creamy and smooth, achieving a luscious puree in seconds.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Serve and enjoy: Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or fresh lime zest for an extra pop of flavor.
Pro Tip: A Blendtec blender eliminates the need for pre-straining, as it breaks down all ingredients into a smooth, velvety mixture effortlessly.
