Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Water
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 100 ml Limoncello
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar over medium heat.
Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely, then remove the saucepan from the heat to cool slightly. This will create a simple syrup.
Once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, stir in the fresh lemon juice, limoncello, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt.
Transfer the mixture into a shallow container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Pour the chilled 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 freezer-safe container and freeze. Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals; repeat this step until the desired consistency is achieved (about 3-4 hours).
Once churned or frozen to the right texture, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours to firm up.
Serve the Limoncello Sorbet in small bowls or glasses, garnished with a twist of lemon peel or a sprig of mint, if desired.
