LEMON-BUTTERMILK SORBET



Lemon-Buttermilk Sorbet image

A bite of this refreshing sorbet is like stepping into a cold shower on a hot summer day. Thanks to the juice and zest of an entire lemon, this four-ingredient frozen treat has plenty of zing, but the creaminess of the buttermilk and the earthiness of the vanilla mellow it all out so you're not left with an unpleasant pucker. A quick note: The zest and the vanilla seeds can clump a bit during the churning process. Just stir it into the sorbet before serving (for soft serve) or freezing (for a firmer sorbet).

FRESH LEMON SHERBET



Fresh Lemon Sherbet image

Unlike ice cream, store-bought sherbet is usually third-rate. If you want a really good fruit sherbet, do you have to make it yourself? YES. In our house lemon is our favorite, but you can use this basic recipe and substitute fresh squeezed lime or orange juice, or use fresh raspberries (YUM). Since getting an ice cream maker with the freezer insert, we make sherbet weekly. We like the sherbet better than regular ice cream and it's a 'little' healthier! If using a canister-style (freezer insert) ice cream machine, freeze the cannister for at least 12 hours, or preferably, overnight. If the canister insert is not thoroughly frozen, the sherbet will not freeze beyond a slushy consistency. Be sure to use freshly squeezed (not bottled) lemon juice. You can substitute vodka for the Triple Sec if desired, but the Triple Sec adds a more citrusy flavor. Prep time includes juice chilling time.

Time 3h50m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated, from 1 to 2 lemons
1 cup granulated sugar (7 ounces)
1/8 teaspoon table salt
2/3 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons triple sec
2/3 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Process zest, sugar, and salt in a food processor until damp, ten to fifteen 1-second pulses.
  • With the machine running, add lemon juice and water in a slow steady stream; continue to process until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 1 minute.
  • Strain the mixture through a non-reactive fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl to remove pulp and zest; stir in Triple Sec, then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until very cold, about 40º, 30-60 minutes (Alternatively, set the bowl over larger bowl containing ice water).
  • Do not let mixture freeze.
  • When mixture is cold, using a whisk, whip the cream in a chilled medium bowl until soft peaks form. Whisking constantly, add the chilled juice mixture in a steady stream, pouring against the edge of the bowl.
  • Immediately start the ice cream machine and add the juice/cream mixture to the frozen insert.
  • Churn until the sherbet has the texture of soft-serve ice cream, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the canister from the machine and transfer the sherbet to a storage container; press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the sherbet (to prevent ice crystals from forming) and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours. Can be wrapped well in plastic and frozen for up to one week.
  • To serve, let sherbet stand at room temperature until slightly softened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sherbet registers 12º to 15º.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for this sherbet. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Chill the buttermilk and lemon mixture before churning: This will help the sherbet freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the sherbet until it is thick and creamy: This will take about 20-25 minutes. If you churn the sherbet for too long, it will become icy.
  • Freeze the sherbet for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the sherbet to firm up.
  • Serve the sherbet with fresh berries or lemon slices: This will add a refreshing touch to the dessert.

Conclusion:

Lemon buttermilk sherbet is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright and tangy flavor, this sherbet is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
