These summery and delicious Strawberries and Cream Sorbet Mimosas are so much fun. They're easy to make, with homemade sorbet, and are perfect for brunch, a bridal shower, or a girly night! Pop open the champagne and get to sippin'!
Ingredients
For the sorbet:
- 2.5 cups (500g) chopped and hulled strawberries
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp simple syrup
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream (double cream), divided in half
For the sorbet mimosas:
- 4 scoops strawberries and cream sorbet
- 1 bottle of champagne (or sparkling wine)
- Fresh strawberries and mint to garnish
Instructions
To make the sorbet:
- Put the strawberries, lime juice, simple syrup, and 1/4 cup (60ml) of the cream in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Pour mixture into a freezer safe container (will be about 2.5 cups of liquid) and drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup (60ml) of cream on top.
- Freeze for 5 hours or overnight, until firm.
To make the sorbet mimosas:
- Put 2-3 scoops of sorbet each into 4 champagne flutes
- Top up with champagne
- Garnish with a whole strawberry and a couple of mint leaves
Notes
While you can omit the simple syrup for a slightly less sweet sorbet, the syrup helps stop ice crystals forming as it freezes so I don't recommend omitting it.
