Strawberry ice is a must-try recipe that brings a burst of summer to your table with its vibrant color and refreshing flavor. This delightful frozen dessert is incredibly easy to make, requiring only a handful of ingredients: ripe strawberries, sugar, water and lemon juice. You don’t need any special equipment—just a blender or food processor to puree the strawberries and a freezer to set the mixture. The result is a smooth, icy treat that perfectly balances sweetness with a hint of tartness, making it perfect for cooling down on a hot day. Ideal for summer parties, weeknight family meals or festive celebrations, strawberry ice is a delightful way to enjoy the season’s flavors.

Make it creamy: Replace part of the water with coconut milk for a creamy, tropical version.

5 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice

Place the strawberries in a blender or food processor; cover and process until smooth. In a saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes; cool slightly. Add to blender. Add lemon juice; cover and process until combined.

To store strawberry ice, transfer it to an airtight container and place a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice before sealing the container; this will minimize ice crystals and freezer burn. Store the container in the coldest part of your freezer, where it will maintain a consistent texture. Strawberry ice can be stored for up to a month. When you’re ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
