Easy Cherry Sorbet
It’s a cooling treat highlighting one of the best fruits of the summer! Our Easy Cherry Sorbet is made with just 3 ingredients and less sugar to be one of our new favorite summer desserts!
The fruit that we look forward to the most in the summertime is hands down, cherries! Especially here in the PNW, summer cherries are our favorite! We already have a cherry ice cream we adore, so we had to make a lighter, healthier, easier summer treat, too. Enter our super Easy Cherry Sorbet! It’s simple to make and highlights these little summer jewels without a ton of added sugar.
Ingredients Needed
- Cherries – Fresh picked and pitted, or this recipe is also a great way to use frozen cherries.
- Sugar – Just enough, which isn’t a lot! Cherries have so much natural sweetness already that you don’t need a ton of added sugar for a sweet sorbet.
- Lemon Juice – This ties it all together and highlights the sweetness of the cherries perfectly.
SO Easy to Make
Blend
It truly does not get much easier than this 3 ingredient cherry sorbet! The hardest part of this recipe is pitting those fresh cherries, which is why a good cherry pitter is key for fresh-picked cherries. But once you have the cherries are pitted and then frozen for a few hours, then it’s just a matter of tossing it all into your trusty high-powered blender and giving it a blend!
Freeze
Once blended smooth, add that bright and delicious cherry and lemon mixture to a loaf pan or another freezer-safe container and let it freeze!
In just about 4 hours, this gorgeous Easy Cherry Sorbet will be ready!
So scoopable and delicious. So undeniably cherry. So much less added sugar than anything you’ll get in the freezer-aisle! It really doesn’t get much easier, or tastier, than this!

I love quick and easy recipes like this with very few ingredients! This sorbet was a hit over the hot summer weekend. I was happy that I had the ingredients at home, and we enjoyed a delicious homemade sorbet on the same day. Great recipe. Thanks!
How would this recipe be modified using frozen or canned cherries? Thank you!
Not much at all! Just toss those frozen cherries in as is, or drain the canned cherries and freeze them first. Enjoy!
