I'm really missing sweet treats at the moment. This is what I've been doing to stave off cookie wants.
Quick Fruit Sorbet
1/2 cup sugar (or honey or sweetener equivalent)
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
2 cups water
2 cups pureed strawberries (or other berries, bananas, canned peaches, etc)
Dissolve the sugar and cornstarch in the water in a large saucepan over low heat, then boil until thick, like syrup, about ten minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. When the sugar syrup is completely cooled, add the pureed fruit and mix well. Place in a plastic contained and freeze, uncovered, until it is solid. Cut the sorbet into chunks, then process in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy. Put the sorbet back into the freezer and allow to freeze for another 4 hours.
**I've also subbed out some of the water for lemon or lime juice for a slightly more tart mix.

I don't suggest using frozen strawberries unless you know they're quality or black cherries. The texture and color is perfect, but the flavor is a little too bittersweet.
Also to make scooping easier let it sit out an room temperature for a few minutes.
