Tips:
- To achieve the perfect texture for your sorbet, ensure that the yogurt is frozen solid before churning. This will prevent the sorbet from becoming icy.
- For a smoother sorbet, strain the yogurt mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before freezing. This will remove any lumps or grains.
- To enhance the flavor of your sorbet, use high-quality yogurt and ripe, juicy limes. Freshly squeezed lime juice will provide the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of sugar or honey to your preference. For a tangier sorbet, use less sweetener. For a sweeter sorbet, add more.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this sorbet. Pour the yogurt mixture into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container and freeze until solid. Then, use a fork or spoon to scrape the frozen mixture into a bowl and beat until smooth.
- Serve the sorbet immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
