Lime Sorbet

Store in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, allow it to soften slightly at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

For a smoother texture, add a tablespoon of corn syrup or a tiny pinch of xanthan gum to your base before freezing.

Adjust the sugar and lime juice ratio to your preference; some like it tarter, others sweeter.

Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled juice can sometimes have a metallic aftertaste.

Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries)

Mint leaves

Coconut flakes

A drizzle of honey or agave nectar

As a palate cleanser between courses

With tropical fruit salads

Freezing the mixture too quickly without churning can result in large ice crystals and a coarse texture.

Not chilling the base mixture thoroughly before churning can lead to a softer sorbet that melts quickly.
