Instructions:
-
Prepare the Egg Whites:
Start by placing the egg whites into a bowl. Using an electric whisk, beat the egg whites until they are semi-whipped. You’ll know they’re ready when you notice a light foam forming on the surface. Once the foam is visible, gradually add 30g of sugar to the egg whites while continuing to whisk. Keep whipping until the mixture turns white and becomes fluffy. Once it reaches this consistency, set it aside. -
-
Juice the Lemons:
Squeeze the lemons to extract 130g of fresh lemon juice. To ensure a smooth texture, strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds. -
Combine the Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix the lemon juice with 140g of sugar using a hand whisk. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved into the juice, creating a smooth, sweetened lemon mixture. -
Incorporate the Egg Whites:
Gradually fold in the whipped egg whites into the lemon and sugar mixture. Do this slowly to ensure the mixture stays light and airy. -
Churn the Sorbet:
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, following the manufacturerโs instructions for your specific machine. Once churned, the mixture should take on the consistency of a smooth sorbet. -
Serve and Garnish:
Spoon the lemon sorbet into serving glasses or bowls. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the sorbet with lemon zest before serving.
Now you have a refreshing and tangy lemon sorbet perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the crisp flavors of lemon, balanced with a touch of sweetness and a hint of limoncello, all in a wonderfully smooth and icy treat!
