Easy Strawberry Sorbet Float Recipe

What is the best Mother’s Day gift?

For me, would be a handmade card, a bunch of flowers, a big hug and a kiss and….last, but not least a delicious and easy dessert. A dessert that can be done by my daughter and my hubby. Easy. Like really easy. No baking involved 🙂 And amazingly looking. Is it possible to get something like this?

Oh, YES! Just have a look at this Strawberry Sorbet Float! Ticks all the boxes 🙂

I got this idea from a Good Food Magazine and I knew the moment I saw it that it will make the perfect dessert for Mother’s Day! Yes, in my opinion, it is a dessert, not a drink. Fresh strawberries, sparkling elderflower drink and strawberry sorbet. Just perfect! No one can resist an amazingly good looking, vibrant dessert.

My recipe for strawberry sorbet is really easy and you don’t need an ice cream machine to make it, just a blender. Some frozen strawberries, sugar and water is all you need to get a quick homemade strawberry sorbet. I told you it’s easy 🙂

You can upgrade this dessert to a grown-up version, replacing the sparkling elderflower drink with Prosecco or Champagne.

Do you have any special plans for Mother’s Day? Hope you are going to have an amazing day!
