This easy lemon sorbet recipe is perfect for summer. Made with fresh lemons, water, sugar, and egg whites, it’s a breeze to whip up using the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker. The result is a refreshing and tangy treat that's ideal for hot days or as a base for a Sgroppino.
Wash the 3 Lemons in hot water, pat them dry, and squeeze out the juice. Set the juice aside, but keep the peels!
3 Lemons
Combine 1 ¾ cups Water, 1 cup Sugar, and lemon peels in a small pan and bring to a boil. Let it infuse for 15 minutes off the heat, then remove the peels.
1 ¾ cups Water, 1 cup Sugar
Strain the lemon juice (to remove seeds and fibers) into the prepared syrup and allow the whole mixture to cool to room temperature.
Separate the egg and whisk 1 Egg white . Keep the yolk for other treats (they freeze well).
1 Egg white
Mix the whisked egg white with the lemon syrup. Don’t worry about lumps; they’ll smooth out in the ice cream maker.
Attach the frozen bowl to your KitchenAid, don’t forget the dasher, and pour in the mixture.
Churn for 30-40 minutes, then transfer to a container and freeze.
Let it soften before serving. Perfect for a sgroppino or garnished with mint leaves, lemon twists, or dark chocolate sprinkles!
