Here's a refreshing lemon sorbet recipe perfect for hot summer days.
All you need to do is squeeze fresh lemons, mix the juice with sugar, and freeze it to create a refreshing lemon sorbet that quenches your thirst on hot summer days.
While I love vanilla and chocolate ice creams, there are times when the punchy acidity of lemon can be a bit overwhelming, and I find myself opting for sweeter fruits like strawberries.
However, I adore lemon pound cakes, which also have a tangy flavor, and I could eat them anytime. It got me thinking that pound cakes contain ingredients like butter, yogurt, or heavy cream that help mellow down the acidity.
This particular recipe I learned in Italy, where a small amount of condensed milk is added to the lemon and sugar mixture. This addition mellows out the acidity, giving the sorbet a smoother and less sharp flavor. Additionally, the condensed milk helps prevent the sorbet from becoming too hard when frozen, so you can enjoy a soft texture even the next day without it turning into a rock-hard block.

Storage
The shelf life when stored in the freezer is about 1 to 2 weeks. When kept in a household freezer, it can become quite solid, so before eating, use a fork to break it up a little to make it easier to enjoy.
