Ingredients:

  • 1 lb frozen strawberries (unsweetened, whole)
  • 0.5 cup fresh strawberries (hulled)
  • 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 0.75 cup superfine sugar
  • 0.25 cup water

Instructions:

  1. Prep the citrus. Squeeze the limes and lemons into a measuring cup until you have exactly 0.5 cup lime and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Note: Fresh juice is non negotiable for that zesty kick.
  2. Hul the fresh berries. Remove the green tops from your 0.5 cup fresh strawberries and slice them in half.
  3. Layer the liquids. Pour the water, lime juice, and lemon juice into the blender base. Note: Liquid at the bottom prevents the blades from getting stuck.
  4. Add the sweetener. Pour in the 0.75 cup superfine sugar.
  5. Add the fresh fruit. Toss in the halved fresh strawberries.
  6. Add the frozen bulk. Dump the 1 lb frozen strawberries on top of the other ingredients.
  7. Pulse to break. Press the pulse button 5-6 times until the large frozen chunks are broken into pebble sized bits.
  8. High speed blend. Run the blender on high for 30-45 seconds until the mixture looks smooth and glossy.
  9. Check consistency. Stop the blender and stir with a long spoon to ensure no whole berries remain at the bottom.
  10. Final whirl. Blend for another 10 seconds until the mix is completely uniform and frost flecked.
