Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Midori melon liqueur
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Water
- 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 2 drops Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once the sugar syrup has cooled, stir in the Midori melon liqueur and fresh lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it thickens slightly, but do not whip it to stiff peaks.
Gently fold the Midori mixture into the whipped cream. If you prefer a more vibrant green color, stir in 1-2 drops of green food coloring.
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap.
Place the container in the freezer for 4-5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals and create a smooth texture.
Once the sherbet is fully set, scoop into bowls and serve chilled. Enjoy your Mellow Midori Sherbet!
