My sister made this simple and delicious sherbet when she was here a couple of weeks ago. I have made lots of home made ice cream, but never sherbet, and I was so impressed with how it turned out! It was really delicious. I was a little bit skeptical about the flavor of the vanilla bean coming through, but you could really taste the vanilla flavor with the strawberry. And honestly? Not difficult at all to make. So you should. Original recipe found here.
Strawberry Vanilla Bean Sherbet
4 cups chopped strawberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, halved and seeds scraped out
Place the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and pinch of salt in a food processor or blender and process until pureed. Pour into a large bowl.
Place the whipping cream in a bowl and add the vanilla bean seeds. Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the strawberry puree. Chill for several hours, or until cold.
When you are ready to freeze the sherbet, pour the strawberry mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer the sherbet to a freezer container and freeze until firm. Makes about 1 1/2 quarts.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
