Ingredients
  

For the Sorbet
  • 2 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen If using fresh, ensure they smell like strawberries for best flavor.
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk This no churn trick adds sweetness and keeps the texture scoopable.
  • 6 leaves fresh basil Start with a small handful; add more if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and hull the strawberries if fresh. For frozen strawberries, let them sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Add the strawberries to a blender or food processor.
  3. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk.
  4. Add the basil leaves.
  5. Blend until smooth, scraping the sides once or twice to avoid chunks.
  6. Taste the mixture; add more basil if desired and blend again.
  7. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or shallow freezer-safe container and smooth the top.
  8. Cover tightly and freeze for about 4 to 6 hours.
Serving
  1. Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Serve with fresh sliced strawberries, torn basil, a squeeze of lemon, or crushed waffle cone pieces. This sorbet pairs well with chewy or crunchy desserts like no bake peanut butter bars.
