Lemon Sorbet



Who doesn’t like a good lemon sorbet?!


What you’ll need:
- 3 lemons

- 3 cup of water 

- 1/2 cup of sugar 




In a pot, heat water and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Place aside to cool.

Zest one of the lemons and put the zest into a bowl

Squeeze the juice out of all the lemons into the bowl with the zest

Once sugar water is cool, add the lemon zest and juice

Assemble ice cream maker (make sure that your freezer bowl has been in the freezer for at least 24hrs)

Pour mixture into ice cream machine, turn on and let churn for 40mins

If it’s not frozen enough for you just put it in the freezer for another 20mins

Scoop into a serving bowl or even better the hollowed out lemon and enjoy!! 

If you want to make it in a lemon cup:
Lemons in half, hollow them out and serve the sorbet in the lemon!!

Lemon and blue berry sorbet

I really like this sorbet because of the bits of blue berry and lemon zest throughout! If you or someone you know don't like desserts being too sweet this is perfect. It has a great combination of sweet and tart.
What you'll need:
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 3 cups of frozen blue berries (you could use fresh blue berries) I normally just have a bag of frozen blue berries in my fridge so that's what I use
- 1 lemon

In a pot heat up your water and sugar till all the sugar melts, then pour into a bowl and put it in the fridge to cool.

Put your blue berries into a food processor and blend. Pour into a bowl.

Zest your lemon and squeeze the juice from half the lemon. Add to your blue berry mixture.

Once your sugar water has been cooled you can also add this to your blue berry and lemon mixture. Assemble you ice cream machine and pour mixture in.

In about 30 minutes you will have a very tastey lemon blue berry sorbet! Don't forget to garnish with a couple blue berries and some zest!
