Steps:

• With a hand-held mixer, beat the egg whites in a medium bowl, until frothy. While still beating, slowly add the sugar and beat on high speed until the egg whites are stiff and shiny, about 4 minutes. (This can also be done in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment).
• In another bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Fold in the egg whites. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze in a quart container until ready to serve.

BASIL AND LIME SORBET

Steps:

• Place the water and sugar in a pan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 4 minutes with the lime zest. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for a while. Add the lime juice and basil puree. Stir this up and leave to infuse for a while. Pass it through a coarse sieve and pour into a plastic tub or earthenware dish and place in the freezer. Generally, sorbet takes 2 hours to set.
