  • Author: Ann
  • Prep Time: 10 min
  • Cook Time: 5 min
  • Total Time: 2 hours
  • Yield: 4 - 6 servings 1x
  • Category: Dessert
  • Method: Frozen
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Diet: Low Lactose

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 lemons
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup Limoncello (or more water)

Instructions

  1. Using a peeler, peel the lemon rind (just the yellow, not the bitter white part) from the outside of all the lemons. Then juice the lemons.
  2. Put the rinds in a pan with the sugar, water, limoncello and lemon juice. Heat over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool. Strain out the rind and any bits of lemon using a strainer. 
  3. Chill the liquid until ready to freeze. Put in a blender and blend until frothy. The air bubbles will help keep the sorbet more creamy and soft once frozen.
  4. Pour into ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions to freeze.
