This is a good alternative for those of you who likes ice cream but do not fancy taking in all that fat. It was a try and error recipe that turned out to be absolutely delicious! Now to those who like to have some alcohol in their sorbet, you can always replace half a cup of lime with white wine, champagne or any alcohol of your choice.
Strawberry & Ginger Sorbet
2 cups of fresh strawberries (you can use frozen ones if you like)
1 1/2 cups of lime juice
3 tablespoon of castor sugar
1 inch of ginger, grated
pinch of salt
Methods:
- Make sure you have a blender and blitz everything together.
- Sift the liquid to ensure smooth sorbet. Put in an ice cream maker and churn according to instructions.
- Alternatively pour into a strong plastic box and put in the coldest part of the freezer. After 1 hour 30 minutes it should have frozen round the edges – take it out and beat vigorously with a fork, electric whisk or in a food processor until you have a uniformly textured icy slush. Put back in the freezer and repeat at least twice more every hour and a half, then freeze for at least another hour.
- Transfer the sorbet to the fridge for 20 minutes before serving.
There you have it! It is the same method all the time. So you can tweak any flavours you like from fruity strawyberry , spicy ginger to even decadent chocolate sorbet. Hope you find yours to satisfy your craving for frozen treats.
