Fresh Lemon Sherbet

Total Time: 3 hrs 50 mins Preparation Time: 50 mins Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients

  • 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

Recipe

  • 1 process zest, sugar, and salt in a food processor until damp, ten to fifteen 1-second pulses.
  • 2 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.
  • 3 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).
  • 4 do not let mixture freeze.
  • 5 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.
  • 6 immediately start the ice cream machine and add the juice/cream mixture to the frozen insert.
  • 7 churn until the sherbet has the texture of soft-serve ice cream, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • 8 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.
  • 9 to serve, let sherbet stand at room temperature until slightly softened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sherbet registers 12º to 15º.
