Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Vodka (optional, helps with texture)
Instructions
Begin by zesting the lemons to collect 2 tablespoons of lemon zest. Then juice enough lemons to yield 1 cup of fresh lemon juice.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated erythritol over medium heat. Stir continuously until the erythritol is completely dissolved, forming a clear syrup, about 5 minutes.
Once the syrup is ready, remove it from heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
Let the lemon mixture cool to room temperature. If you are using vodka, stir it in once the mixture is cool. Vodka is optional but recommended if you want a softer texture, as it prevents hard freezing.
Pour the cooled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20–30 minutes.
Once churned, transfer the sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop into bowls and enjoy!
