Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh lychees (peeled and pitted)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 pinch Salt
- 100 milliliters Optional: Lychee syrup or canned lychee juice
Instructions
Peel and pit the fresh lychees, reserving all of the fruit. If using canned lychees, drain and reserve the syrup for later use.
In a small saucepan, combine the grated ginger, granulated sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely to create a ginger syrup.
Reduce the heat and let the ginger syrup simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat, strain the syrup to remove ginger pieces, and allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a blender, combine the prepared lychees, cooled ginger syrup, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little lychee syrup or water to adjust the consistency.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed by adding extra sugar or lime juice.
Pour the blended lychee-ginger mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and freeze for 1-2 hours. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture vigorously with a fork to break up any ice crystals, repeating this process until you achieve a smooth texture.
Scoop the lychee and ginger ice into serving bowls or glasses. Serve immediately as a refreshing dessert or snack.
