Lemon Sorbet Recipe – Easy Sorbet Recipes

Lemon Sorbet Recipe

Lemon Sorbet……!! I love lemon flavour very much but never thought I would fall for lemony flavour even in my dessert, yesss I loved it so much.Sorbet is a frozen dessert made from sweetened water with flavouring (typically fruit juice or fruit puree).Sorbet is basically water + sugar + fruit combo frozen, churned well to break the ice crystals to get a smoother finish.

I always daydream of trying out icecreams at home but never got the courage to try it out. After a long search, I even got the icecream scooper 2 yrs back and it was happily sleeping in my kitchen.When I saw this lemon sorbet when I was googling for icecream recipes, I had no excuse as it was so easy and with just 3 main ingredients it tempted me to try at that instant.I wasn’t sure whether it would really turn out like how a sorbet would be like or taste like but to my surprise it came out soooo goood. I enjoyed the sorbet to the core, perfect for this summer.

My Notes:

  • If you want a stronger flavour then add more lemon zest.But I would recommend adding less as we are blending the mixture often, with more lemon zest it might give a slightly bitter taste.
  • I added 1/2 cup water instead of 1/3 cup.
  • I used 6 small sized lemons to extract 1/3 cup of lemon juice.It depends on the size of lemons.
  • Blending gives a  smooth texture.The first few times when you grind it will still be transparent and runny, after blending for few more times, it will give a snowy white soft texture.
  • The more you blend the more creamier your sorbet will turn.
  • Freeze the serving bowl for atleast 30mins so that after the sorbet is scooped into it, it will not melt quickly.
  • Sorbet is actually not silky smooth like icecream or froyo but smooth.
  • Alternatively, churn the mixture in your ice cream machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Serve with a dash of lemon zest.
  • I used my icecream scooper to scoop out and it was very easy.
  • Stays good even for 2 weeks or even more if frozen.But I bet it wouldn’t last that long. 🙂

      Topping may be chocolate sauce or you can make a simple syrup with sugar and lemon juice
