The fruit mixture is blended until silky smooth, strained for an ultra-smooth texture, chilled thoroughly, and then churned in an ice cream maker until irresistibly creamy. Every spoonful delivers the sweet-tart flavor of strawberries paired with the delicate floral notes of lychee, making this a truly special sorbet for warm days.

Ingredients

400g fresh strawberries, hulled
250g lychee flesh (fresh or canned, drained)
120ml sugar syrup, cooled
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

For the Sugar Syrup

100g sugar
100ml water

Method

Prepare the sugar syrup by combining the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow it to cool completely.
Add the strawberries, lychee flesh, cooled sugar syrup, and lemon juice to a blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and any fibrous bits, creating a smoother sorbet.
Chill the strained mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2–4 hours, or until thoroughly cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft sorbet consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2–4 hours for a firmer texture.
Scoop and serve chilled.

Notes

Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor and natural color.
Fresh lychees provide the most fragrant taste, but canned lychees work beautifully as well.
The lemon juice brightens the fruit flavors without overpowering them.
Allow the sorbet to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping if frozen solid.
