Lemon-Buttermilk Sorbet image

A bite of this refreshing sorbet is like stepping into a cold shower on a hot summer day. Thanks to the juice and zest of an entire lemon, this four-ingredient frozen treat has plenty of zing, but the creaminess of the buttermilk and the earthiness of the vanilla mellow it all out so you're not left with an unpleasant pucker. A quick note: The zest and the vanilla seeds can clump a bit during the churning process. Just stir it into the sorbet before serving (for soft serve) or freezing (for a firmer sorbet).

This sorbet is a great way to use up leftover buttermilk. It's also a healthier alternative to ice cream.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sorbet turned out icy and grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This sorbet is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.

I love how easy this sorbet was to make. I didn't have an ice cream maker, so I just used a blender and a freezer-safe container. It turned out just as good as store-bought sorbet.

This lemon buttermilk sorbet was a delightful treat! The tangy lemon flavor perfectly balanced the creamy buttermilk, and the sorbet had a smooth, velvety texture. It was the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day.
