Notes

Expert Tips

  • Freeze the lime mixture in a silicone ice cube tray to make it easier to blend.
  • For best results, use fresh lime juice in this recipe. If you'd like to save on prep time, my favorite store-bought organic lime juice is from the brand Santa Cruz.
  • Serve them in paper "Italian Ice Cups" for a more nastalgic feel! We always had these at our local Italian Ice shop when I was a kid.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to serve.
  • You can enjoy this sorbet right out of the freezer, but it will be a bit icy. I highly recommend the second blend to create a creamier texture.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover sorbet should be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Make sure you use a freezer-safe container!
When it comes out of the freezer, you will need to let it defrost for about 10 minutes before trying to scoop it out.
I highly recommend you blend it again to create a creamier consistency before serving.
