Today we are preparing an adults-only frozen treat you’ll want to repeat all spring and summer long! Think rosé. Now think strawberries. Freeze!
The best part is that it requires minimal preparation, minimal dishes and only a few steps.
Wash the strawberries and remove the stems, cut them in quarters and put them in a freezer safe container overnight until they are fully frozen (this step only takes a few hours, but I did it beforehand to save time on the day).
I used fresh strawberries but you can perfectly skip this step and buy a pack of frozen strawberries and it will still taste delicious!
Get your blender (or food processor) and pour the frozen strawberries, the rosé bottle of your choice and the sweetener and blend. Make sure you check the mixture every now and then to guarantee all the strawberries are smooth and broken up into a slushy kind of mixture.
Pour the mixture over a freezer safe container and let it sit on the freezer for a couple of hours until firm.
You can have it this way and it will have more of a “granita” texture, but you can blend it again and it will be smoother and perfect for serving.
Serve it on some small bowls with fresh berries and maybe a drip of honey or maple syrup. That is it!
Cheers! - Joana
