- Allow strawberries to cool completely.
- Strain the strawberries, reserving the syrup for serving.
- Spread the roasted strawberries onto a lined tray and freeze for 2–4 hours or overnight.
- Place milk, sugar and frozen roasted strawberries into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Run the Frozen Dessert Program, or start on the lowest speed and quickly increase to the highest speed.
- Blend for 30–50 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades, until four mounds form.
- Serve immediately topped with reserved strawberry syrup if desired.
Recipe Notes
- Roasted strawberries keep refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Use leftover roasted strawberries on waffles, pancakes, yoghurt or desserts.
- Do not overblend or the sherbet will melt.
