Lemon Sorbet – Two Ways

August 6, 2014 Leave a Comment

Whenever I have company in the summer and want a guilt-free (or at the very least slightly less guilty) dessert this lemon sorbet is my go-to choice.  It is super easy and quick to make and no oven is required.   
 
I made a sugar-free version as well with splenda which also tastes delicious.  However, it is important to note that it is a little clumpier than its regular sorbet counter-part.  
 
This is the ice cream maker I use, but any kind is just fine.

Lemon Sorbet Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup of fresh lemon juice (from approximately 6 medium-size lemons)
2 cups of water
2 cups of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of grated lemon zest

Directions:
1.  In a saucepan on the stove top pour in the granulated sugar and water.  Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.  Cool simple syrup in fridge for at least an hour.
2.  Then pour the simple syrup, lemon juice and grated lemon zest into the ice cream machine’s container.  Whisk together all the ingredients.
3.  Churn according to manufacturer’s instructions.
4.  Transfer the sorbet mixture to an air tight container and free overnight before serving.  (Ciao Bella suggests two hours but I find it is best to make it the night before).

The Sugar-Free Lemon Sorbet Recipe – follow the above recipe but swap out the granulated sugar for Splenda.
