Frozen Lemon Sherbet In Lemon Shells Recipes

FROZEN LEMON SHERBET IN LEMON SHELLS

Steps:

• Sherbet maybe frozen in half or whole lemons. For halves, cut larges lemons in half squeeze juice and scrape out all the pulp, using a grapefruit spoon. For whole lemons, cut a slice from the top, loosing the pulp with a grapefruit knife and scoop it out. Strain through a sieve, pressing the pulp to extract all the juice. Reserve juice. Place the lemon shells in cake pan, cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate.
• To prepare sherbet, combine 1 cup water and ¾ cup sugar and bring to boil in a saucepan. Simmer 5 minutes and let cool. Add salt, cream, juice and rind. Pour into freezer tray or shallow metal pan. Freeze until almost firm. Beat smooth with a mixer.
• Beat egg whites to soft peaks, fold into lemon mixture thoroughly. Freeze again until firm enough to mound from a spoon. Spoon into lemon shells. Place in a cake pan, cover with a plastic wrap and freeze until firm.
• Decorate with green leaves and drizzle sherbet with an orange liqueur if desired.

Steps:

• In a medium, nonreactive saucepan, mix 1 cup (250 ml) of the milk with the sugar. Grate the zest of the lemon directly into the saucepan. Heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the remaining 2 cups (500 ml) milk, then chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.
• Stir the lemon juice into the milk mixture. If it curdles a bit, whisk it vigorously to make it smooth again. Freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Lemon Sherbet is good with anything berry, including Raspberry Ice Cream (page 93) or Strawberry Sorbet (page 128). Or simply serve it with lots of lightly sweetened berries.
