Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a simple syrup. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, and the cooled simple syrup. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and salt until evenly mixed.
Gradually pour the lime mixture into the cream mixture while whisking. Continue to mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the sherbet base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Transfer the churned sherbet into an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up.
Serve the refreshing lime sherbet in bowls or cones and enjoy immediately!
