Lemon Sherbet (Homemade Lemon Ice Cream)


Sherbet - This is a term used for frozen dessert. It is actually a sorbet with some diary added to it. Sorbet and Sherbet contain the same basic ingredients - pureed fruit , sugar and water. While sherbet is also made with the same ingredients, some milk/cream is added to it to make it more of an ice cream texture. 


Ingredients
  • Lemon - 2 large
  • Milk - 1/2 cup
  • Heavy whipping cream - 1/2 cup
  • Granulated white sugar - 1/3 cup

Preparation
  • Juice the two lemons. There should be around 1/2 cup of lemon juice. If not, add water to make it half cup.
  • Take the zest of 1 lemon.
  • Take the lemon juice , lemon zest, milk , whipping cream and sugar in a bowl and stir it well.
  • Taste it and add, if you feel you need more sugar. 


  • Pour the mixture in a freezer safe bowl or a metal cake pan, cover it with a plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.
  • It needs to be frozen for about 6 hours.
  • After every hour, make sure to take it out and stir the mixture so that it remains soft rather than crystallizing and becoming like a popsicle.
  • Once done, transfer it to a container and store in the freezer and serve it as and when needed.
