MEYER LEMON LIMONCELLO SORBET RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Meyer Lemon Limoncello Sorbet Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 - 3 lemons)
1 cup Meyer lemon juice (juice of about 3-4 lemons, some you zested)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup limoncello (vodka is ok to substitute)
NOTE: You can use up to 2 cups of lemon juice, but it might be very tart!

Steps:

  • Wash and dry lemons. Using a microplane grater, remove the zest from two to three lemons until you have about 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Place water, zest and sugar into small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil for one minute and then remove from heat. Juice the lemons until you have 2 cups of juice. Pour juice through a chinois or sieve to remove seeds and pulp. Add 1/3 cup of limoncello to the juice and place in an ice bath to chill. Pour cooled zest and sugar mixture through chinois or sieve into ice bath with juice. Stir to mix and chill mixture in ice bath until less than 45° F. NOTE: I simply chilled this mixture in the fridge for a couple of hours. Pour into ice cream maker and freeze according to your maker's instructions. Once chilled, remove from ice cream maker and place in dedicated (odor-free) container to let ripen in the freezer for several hours. Because of the alcohol, it will always be a tiny bit soft.

Tips for Making the Best Limoncello Sorbet:

  • Use the best quality lemons you can find. Fresh, organic lemons are ideal.
  • Make sure your limoncello is well-chilled before using it in the sorbet.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this sorbet. Simply freeze the mixture in a covered container, stirring it every few hours to break up the ice crystals.
  • Serve the sorbet immediately, or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Limoncello sorbet is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Limoncello sorbet is a great way to use up leftover limoncello and is a delicious and refreshing summer dessert.
